India has a long history of commercial coal
mining, It started off during the East India Company days when British found
coal in the Raniganj Coalfield along the river Damodar. At the time the demand

Right now India
has a cumulative reserve of more than 300 Billion tonnes of coal.
Says who? Well this kind of a data is gathered after exploration is done by organizations like (Geological Survey of India, Central Mine Planning and Design Institute, then Singareni Collieries Company Limited and Mineral Exploration Corporation Limited). These all are government companies and their facts are based on exploration carried out up to the maximum depth of 1200m.
So what they do is, they make boreholes of 1200 m in the land to find the thickness of the coal bed and each borehole is 1-2 Km apart and then they figure out the distance between the coal bed, finally they do a little multiplication to find the volume of coal available in a given region.

Tertiary coal - this is due to the availability of coal in north-eastern region which is comparatively new.
We will first
locate the Gondwana coal. These are found in:-
