India's cabinet approved the mining reforms at a cabinet meeting in January 2021 chaired by Modi. The winners, simply, are mining companies. These reforms are largely targeted at streamlining the processes and opening up more sites in India to mine, while also levelling the playing field between private enterprise and stateowned endeavours.
At the COP summit in 2021, India signed on to an agreement to "phase down" coal. But even with an ambitious plan to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, the coal ministry anticipates that ...
India's crude steel production stood at MT in FY23 (until October 2022). The steel production in India is projected to increase by 18% to reach 120 million tonnes (MT) by FY22. In Q3 FY22, production of hot metal, crude steel and saleable steel by SAIL stood at MT, MT and MT, respectively.
Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground or from a mine. Coal is valued for its energy content and since the 1880s has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production.
Coal India Limited (CIL) is the world's largest coal mining company and produces 84 percent of India's thermal coal. 2 Most coal is sold to power producers, predominantly under fuel supply ...
India's mining infrastructure is among the largest in the world and the complexity and financial resources involved are enormous. Further, the mining sector in India is on an unprecedented growth trajectory. Mining sector being one of the most capital intensive sectors, the financial implications of the sector's business dynamics are huge.
8 LahiriDutt discusses different coal economies in India based on the actors, values and norms guiding each of the coal economy in the country. National coal economy is mined by the public sector company Coal India Limited, however, there has been increasing informal economy within this through subcontracting since 1990s.

In the Western Coal Region, Wyoming is the top producer—about 40 percent of the coal mined in the country is extracted in the state. ... Underground mining, sometimes called deep ...
'Rathole' mining was used to extract coal from narrow and deep mines in Meghalaya. In January 2019, some 15 miners lost their lives when they were trapped for more than a month in one such mine.
Rescuers in northern India have successfully removed a group of 41 workers from a collapsed tunnel under the Himalayas, the climax of a 17day rescue operation to drill through rock and debris.
"Rathole" mining is a hazardous and controversial method used extensively in the northeastern state of Meghalaya to extract thin seams of coal before an environmental court in 2014 banned the ...
CBM extraction involves the gradual transformation of buried plant materials into coal over millions of years, resulting in the release of methane and other byproduct gases. Understanding the adsorption mechanism of CBM molecules onto the coal matrix and the role of the cleat system is crucial for efficient extraction.
Antimining protests by Adivasis, India's indigenous communities, have in recent years drawn considerable attention. In many places across India's mining tracts, Adivasis have been battling to ...
Despite the trend of a transition to "clean" energy, the coal industry still plays a significant role in the global economy. The constant need for raw materials and energy for production leads to an environmental crisis—an increase in the content of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, especially in the mining regions. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the carbon ...
Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country. It is widely used for power generation and as a raw material in the industries. India ranks third in coal production. However, the country has to import coal in order to meet the rising demand for coal. In India, coal mining is conducted using two methods: underground and opencast methods.
Coal is a combustible black or brownishblack sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements, chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is a type of fossil fuel, formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years.
Preindependence Singareni Coal Picking Belt in 1928 Commercial exploitation of coal in India began in 1774 with John Sumner and Suetonius Grant Heatly of the East India Company in the Raniganj Coalfield along the Western bank of Damodar River. The growth of Indian coal mining remained slow for nearly a century due to low demand.
Given below is the list of Coal Mines in India with the states and categories the coalfields belong to: Coal Mines in India. Coal Mine. States. Jharia, Dhanbad. Bokaro. Jayanti. Godda ...
Coal : Prime Source of Energy in India ¾Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel resources in India ¾Coal is the key contributor to the Indian energy scenario. ¾55% of the current total commercial energy needs is met by coal. ¾By 202425, the share of coal would come down marginally to about 50% of the total energy needs.
underground mines in the earth crust. Coal mining is one of the most illegal activities going on in the country. At the same time it totally neglects the role of EIA in its preoperational, during mining and post operational plans. Here various case studies of coal mining are done and the impact of coal mining to the environment is looked into with
"Rat mining" is a primitive, hazardous and controversial method used in India mostly to remove coal deposits through narrow passages. The name comes from its resemblance to rats burrowing through ...
Introduction: Coal Washing is a process of enrichment of combustibles in coal by removal of noncombustible impurities utilizing industrial separators mainly based on difference in Specific Gravity of Coal and associated impurities like Shale, Sand Stones etc. so that we get marketable coal suitable for the target consumers. The Washed Coking Coal is meant for Steel Plants.
Coal remains a very important source of energy for the global economy. Surface and underground coal mining are the two major methods of coal extraction, and both have benefits and drawbacks. Surface coal mining can have a variety of environmental impacts including ecosystem losses, landscape alteration, soil destruction, and changes to surface and groundwater quality and quantity. In addition ...
