Coal Mining Coal can be extracted from the earth either by surface mining or underground mining. Once coal has been extracted, it can be used directly (for heating and industrial processes) or to fuel power plants for electricity. Surface Mining If coal is less than 61 meters (200 feet) underground, it can be extracted through surface mining.
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.
Coal mining and its unfavourable consequences have generated global attention. It has further stimulated the paradoxical debate of development and desolation in the contemporary scenario. Since the coal resources are profusely available in India and it is comparatively less expensive, the country has been largely relying on it for its essential and nonessential consumption needs. Coal ...

The mining industry in India is a major economic activity which contributes significantly to the economy of gross domestic product (GDP) contribution of the mining industry varies from % to % only but going by the GDP of the total industrial sector, it contributes around 10% to 11%. Even mining done on small scale contributes 6% to the entire cost of mineral production.
Coal production of India. Coal in India has been mined since 1774, and India is the second largest producer and consumer of coal after China, mining million metric tons ( million short tons) in FY 30% of coal is imported. Due to demand, supply mismatch and poor quality with high ash content, India imports coking coal to meet the shortage of domestic supply.
A resurgence in India's hunger for coal could mean peak consumption is years away. The use of the fuel for power generation is seen growing at the fastest pace in over a decade this year.
The waste material from coal mining in India comprises mainly of sandstone, bands of clay and other metamorphic rocks. The sandstone ranges from coarse grain to fine grain. ... Blast furnace slag is generated during the melting process in steel making operations. It is very as a cementitious binder in road construction. It is very commonly used ...
In India, mining of coal offers a special context as coal is seen as a national icon rather than a mere fossil fuel. This is evident from existence of a range of laws relating to coal resources and a devoted ministry on coal that is not found in any other country across the globe. Hence, extraction of coal draws considerable attention in India.
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 ...
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.
The process of repurposing of closed mines sites has already been set in motion by the Sustainable Development cell of the Ministry of Coal. ... As coal mining in India had started long back, our coalfields are replete with several legacy mines remaining unused for long. In addition, mines are closing and will close in future also due to ...
It is cheaper than underground coal mining. There are three types of surface mining strip mining, where explosives are used to remove the top layers; open pit mining when a pit is dug; and MTR mining where a whole mountain summit is destroyed. Underground mining is performed when the coal is deeper than 300ft below ground level.
Currently, the group also has government contracts to produce and sell more than 29 million tons of coal in India every year, claiming 50% of the country's market share in coal trading. In June ...
