Commercial coal mining has been a game-changer, unlocking new growth opportunities and accelerating India’s journey toward energy self-reliance.

After a phenomenal response in Kolkata, the momentum now moves to Mumbai, followed by Ahmedabad—expanding opportunities and engagement. These roadshows provide insights into upcoming auctions, key policy reforms, ease of doing business, and financial incentives to attract investors. Senior officials from the Ministry of Coal, Coal India Limited, and other PSUs will present key developments and interact with industry leaders, fostering discussions on regulatory frameworks and the coal sector’s vital role in securing India’s energy future.

With India’s coal sector undergoing transformative changes, this initiative aligns with the Government’s vision of Viksit Bharat along with self-reliance in energy security and fostering private participation in coal mining. The roadshow in Mumbai is part of a series of nationwide engagements aimed at encouraging industry collaboration and boosting investments in the sector. Through these efforts, the Ministry seeks to create a transparent, investor-friendly ecosystem that facilitates growth and innovation while ensuring environmental sustainability.
