MUMBAI – The Ministry of Coal will launch the 14th round of commercial coal mine auctions in New Delhi on Wednesday, it said in a release. At the event, the ministry will also launch two digital platforms – CLAMP or the Coal Land Acquisition, Management, and Payment Portal, and the Koyla Shakti Dashboard.
The ministry is introducing provisions for underground coal gasification within the auction framework for the first time. This step is expected to reduce dependence on imported natural gas and crude oil while unlocking new avenues for investment, technological advancement, and employment generation across related sectors, the release said.
The upcoming round will offer a fresh set of coal mines for auction, covering both fully explored and partially explored blocks, the ministry said. It aims to attract participation from experienced miners, new entrants, and technology-driven enterprises. End
