The Ministry of Coal has reached a significant milestone with the allocation of its 200th coal block, marking a key achievement in its ongoing efforts to reform and modernize India’s coal sector. The Marwatola–II coal block has been allocated to Singhal Business Private Limited, as per the latest Allocation Order issued by the Ministry.
This landmark allocation highlights the Ministry’s consistent push to promote private sector participation and strengthen India’s self-reliance in coal production. Officials have reiterated that the move aligns with the government’s broader vision of building a resilient and transparent coal ecosystem.
On this occasion, the Nominated Authority expressed appreciation to all stakeholders from the industry whose active participation and confidence have contributed significantly to achieving this goal. The Authority also reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to fostering an investment-friendly environment, streamlining processes, and accelerating the operationalisation of coal blocks.
Over recent years, the Ministry of Coal has implemented several key reforms aimed at transforming the sector. These include the introduction of commercial coal mining, establishment of a single-window clearance system, and the integration of digital tools for monitoring and governance. Collectively, these initiatives have enhanced transparency, accountability, and operational efficiency within the coal industry.
