The government has placed 25 coal blocks up for sale in the 16th round of commercial coal auctions. The mines are distributed across nine states, including Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand.
The commercial auction of coal blocks is part of the government's strategy to boost domestic coal production and reduce dependence on imports while attracting private sector participation in the mining sector.
