New Delhi: The Ministry of Coal has allotted two coking coal mines, Rohne and Rabodih, to the Steel Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). Allocated under the Coal Mines (Special Provision) Act, 2015, these mines located in Jharkhand will add about more than 10 MT per annum and boost the coking coal production in the country. This is a significant step towards reducing the dependence of the Steel Industry on imported coal.

The 'Rohne' Coal Mine has been allotted to National Mineral Development Corporation Limited for sale of coal and will also serve the purpose of captive use of coking coal to NMDC's upcoming steel plant at Nagarnar.

The 'Robodih OCP' coal mine has been allotted to Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited for captive use of production of Iron & Steel.

These mines will, over their lifetime, generate about Rs 7000 crore revenue for the state government, besides royalties and other applicable taxes. Both NMDC and RINL would set up their washeries for washing coal.
