Coal Production from Captive/Commercial Mines Crosses 100 MT

About Captive & Non-Captive Mines

• Captive Mines: Captive mines are mines owned by companies, where the coal or minerals extracted are solely for the company’s own use. The resources from these mines cannot be sold externally.
• Non-Captive Mines: Non-captive mines allow the extracted coal or minerals to be used for both the company’s own needs and for sale to others.
• 2021 Amendment:
  • Captive and Merchant Mines: Eliminated the distinction between these two types of mines. Captive mines produce minerals for the company’s own use, with provisions to sell up to 50% of their output on the open market after meeting their internal needs. Merchant mines operate to produce minerals for sale on the open market.
