The Ministry of Coal has issued vesting orders for three additional coal mines in Rajgamar Dipside (Deavnara), Tangardihi North, and Mahuagarhi, under India’s ongoing commercial mining auctions.

Together, the blocks hold 1,484 million tonnes of geological reserves with a combined peak rated capacity of 1 MTPA. They are expected to generate ₹190 crore in annual revenue, attract ₹150 crore in investment, and create employment for over 1,350 people.

With this round, India has so far vested or allocated 130 coal blocks under the commercial mining framework. These collectively represent a peak capacity of 267 MTPA, potential annual revenue of ₹37,700 crore, and an estimated 3.6 lakh jobs.

The ministry said the move strengthens the government’s efforts to open the coal sector to private players, increase domestic output, and reduce import dependence. Vesting orders formally transfer mining rights to successful bidders, enabling operational activities to commence.

Officials noted that the latest step underscores India’s focus on self-reliant energy security and efficient resource utilisation within the commercial mining ecosystem.
