The event will take place on 28th February at The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai. Union Minister of Coal and Mines, G Kishan Reddy, will grace the occasion as the Chief Guest in the august presence of Vikram Dev Dutt, Secretary, Ministry of Coal, Rupinder Brar, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Coal, along with other senior officials of Ministry. This strategic event will bring together key stakeholders, industry leaders, and investors to explore emerging prospects in coal mining, technological advancements, best & sustainable practices.

Commercial coal mining has been a game-changer, unlocking new growth opportunities and accelerating India's journey toward energy self-reliance. Since the launch of the first-ever commercial coal auctions on 18 th June 2020, the sector has seen remarkable progress. With 10 rounds of successful auctions, 113 coal mines have been allocated, boasting a cumulative PRC of ~257.60 MTPA. To build on this success and drive further industry participation, the Ministry of Coal has initiated a series of roadshows.

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.

A key focus of the event will be discussions on technological innovations, sustainability measures, and environmental best practices in coal mining. Participants will gain insights into modern mining techniques, reclamation of mined-out areas, and initiatives supporting a just transition towards cleaner coal technologies. The event will also emphasize India's commitment to balancing energy security with responsible resource management, fostering an approach that integrates economic development with ecological responsibility.

The Ministry of Coal extends a warm invitation to all stakeholders, investors, and industry leaders to be part of this significant event. By joining hands in this transformative journey, participants will contribute to shaping a resilient, progressive, and self-reliant coal sector-one that drives India's economic growth while upholding the highest standards of sustainability and innovation.
