The largest-ever coal mine auction, consisting of 141 mines, was started by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. It is anticipated to directly benefit twelve states.
A fast-growing economy like India needs more investment in coal production and gasification projects.
The mines up for auction are located in the states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Bihar, all of which are producers of coal and lignite.
India is the second-largest importer of dry fuel despite being the fourth-largest producer in the world.
Therefore, several reforms have been made to encourage commercial coal mining in India to create an “AtmaNirbhar Bharat”.
Commercial coal mining is permitted, with 50 blocks being made available to the private sector.
Entry requirements will be relaxed as a result of the elimination of the rule requiring “washed” coal for power plants.
Instead of being a fixed cost, coal blocks would be made available to private businesses on a revenue-sharing basis.
The income share will be reduced as an incentive for coal gasification or liquefaction.
Rights to extract coal bed methane (CBM) from coal mines owned by Coal India will be put up for auction.
