Turning Coal into a Strategic Engine for Sustainable Growth and Global Leadership
This PIB release highlights the transformation of India's coal sector over the last decade, marked by surpassing 1 billion metric tonnes in production.
Key reforms include the 2015 Supreme Court cancellation of coal blocks and the introduction of commercial coal mining in 2020. These changes have led to significant growth, successful auctions of approximately 150 mines, and substantial revenue generation for state governments.
