The Ministry of Coal is set to launch the 13th round of commercial coal mine auctions on 21st August 2025 in New Delhi. The event will be graced by Union Minister of Coal and Mines, Shri G. Kishan Reddy, as Chief Guest, and Minister of State for Coal and Mines, Shri Satish Chandra Dubey, as Guest of Honour.

This event will mark another significant step towards enhancing transparency, competition, and self-reliance in India’s coal sector. The commercial coal mine auction process, which has witnessed robust participation from both established and new industry players in every round, aims to accelerate coal production and ensure adequate supply for the nation’s growing energy demand. The upcoming 13th round will continue to offer mines with the most liberal terms, promoting ease of doing business and attracting investments from a diverse set of stakeholders,

Launched in 2020 under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the commercial auction framework has transformed the coal sector by fostering transparency, driving competition, and increasing coal availability for domestic industries, thereby reducing dependence on imports.

The upcoming round will offer a fresh set of coal mines for auction, covering both fully explored and partially explored blocks, attracting diverse participation from experienced miners, new entrants, and technology-driven enterprises. In this round, a total of 34 coal mines will be offered comprising 5 CMSP coal mines and 29 MMDR coal mines. Of these, 12 are fully explored and 22 are partially explored. Additionally, under the 2nd Attempt of Round 12, the Ministry of Coal is offering 3 coal mines of which 2 is CMSP and 1 is MMDR further widening the scope for investment and reinforcing domestic supply.

The Ministry of Coal invites industry leaders, investors, and stakeholders to participate in this significant event and contribute to shaping the future of India’s coal sector.

As India advances toward its vision of Viksit Bharat, the Ministry of Coal remains dedicated to driving reforms, enhancing ease of doing business, and cultivating a dynamic ecosystem for responsible coal mining.
