Ministry of Coal achieve allocations of 200 coal blocks

The Ministry of Coal has reached a significant milestone with the allocation of its 200th coal mine, marking a major step forward in the ongoing transformation of India’s coal sector. The Marwatola–II coal block has been allotted to Singhal Business Private Limited, reaffirming the Ministry’s commitment to sectoral reforms, encouraging private sector involvement, and enhancing national self-reliance in coal production. This milestone reflects the Ministry’s continued efforts to establish a transparent, efficient, and resilient coal ecosystem aligned with future energy needs.
On this occasion, the Nominated Authority expressed sincere appreciation to industry stakeholders for their sustained support and trust, which have been instrumental in achieving this landmark. The Ministry remains committed to fostering an investment-friendly environment, simplifying regulatory processes, and fast-tracking the operationalisation of coal blocks. This achievement not only boosts domestic coal output but also contributes to reducing import dependence and securing long-term energy stability. Recent reforms such as the launch of commercial coal mining, single-window clearances, and digital governance mechanisms have fundamentally reshaped the sector, creating new opportunities for private investment and setting the foundation for a robust and transparent coal industry.
