Three mines up for bids on second day of commercial coal mine auctions
New Delhi: On the second day of auctions under the 9th round and 8th round, three mines were put up for auctions for commercial mining, the Ministry of Coal said on Wednesday.
Out of the three mines, one is a coking coal mine and 2 are mines with non-coking coal reserves.
All 3 coal mines are partially explored mines having total geological reserves of 388.32 Million Tonnes and have received good competition among bidders.
Under the Coking Coal Mission, coking coal mines have also been included in auctions.
