Coal deposits and mines in India

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 was not that high, but it grew with the introduction of steam locomotives in 1853. So this is the history of Coal mining in India.

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. 

Now let's look at the state wise coal reserves in India. Before we start I want you to understand this that the Government of India has categorized the coal resources in two types, they are:-
 
Gondwana coal -  this is due to the availability of coal in the regions of peninsular India which was earlier part of Gondwana.



Gondwana coal is also known as peninsular plateau coal
Gondwana Coal Mines

Tertiary coal - this is due to the availability of coal in north-eastern region which is comparatively new.

they are new compared to gondwana coal
Tertiary Coal Mines
We will first locate the Gondwana coal. These are found in:-
Jharkhand - Jharia, Giridih, Karanpura, Ramgarh, Bokara, Daltonganj
Odisha - Talcher, Rampur
Madhya Pradesh - Umaria, Sohagpur, Singrauli
Chhattisgarh - Corba, Chirimiri, Jhilimili, Bishrampur
West Bengal - Raniganj, Mejia
Andhra Pradesh - Singareni, Tandur, Kothagudem, Yellandu
Maharashtra - Wardha, Ballarpur, Chanda, Kampati
Uttar Pradesh - Kakri, Bina, Dhughichua, Kharia

Now let’s locate the places with tertiary coal. These are found in:-
