- The Ministry of Coal announced the start of coal production from the Urtan and Dhirauli coal mines in Madhya Pradesh.
- Urtan became India’s first underground coal mine to start production under the commercial coal auction regime.
- Both mines produce non-coking coal that can be sold in the open market under the liberalised commercial coal mining policy.
- The mines are located in the Gondwana Coal Basin, which contains most of India’s black coal reserves.
- The project aims to strengthen domestic coal production, underground mining and India’s energy security.
