BCCL 13 Opencast sites, 50 Underground mines, 24 mixed sites

CCL 25 Opencast sites, 13 Underground mines, 17 mixed

SECL 17 Opencast sites, 69 Underground mines, 1 mixed sites

MCL 13 Opencast sites, 9 Underground mines

NEC (Unit directly controlled by CIL)  2 Opencast sites, 4 Underground mines

In total, CIL has 131 opencast sites, 297 underground mines, 47 mixed sites giving a grand total of 475 sites.


Bharat Coking Coal Ltd

First Shaft Mine opened at Ranigunj between 1815-1820. By 1835 Carr, Tagore & Company had taken over the Ranigunj Coal Mines.
In 1843 Bengal Coal Company takes over Ranigunj Coal Mines and others; is first Joint Stock Coal Company in India.

Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) is a Public Sector Undertaking engaged in mining of coal and allied activities. It 
occupies an important place in as much as it produces bulk of the coking coal mined in the country. BCCL meets almost5 50% 
of the total prime coking coal requirement of the intregrated steel sector. It also supplies substantial quantity of coal to
the pig iron sector and bulk of the coal requirement of the power station in the Northern region.  

BCCL's area of operation falls in Jharia Coalfield and in a part of Ranigaunj Coalfield in the State of Bihar. Its activity 
extents into a small area in West Bengal also wherein it operates two of its coal mines. Its area of operation is speed over 
270 Sq.Kms. of the Jharia Coalfield and 32 Sq. Kms. in the Ranigaunj Coalfield. 

In order to ensure planned development of the scare coking coal resources in the country, the large number of small coking 
coal mines(214 Nos.) operating in the Jharia Coalfield & Ranigaunj Coalfield were taken over by the Govt. of India on 
16th October,1971. These mines were subsequently nationalised in May, 1972. 

BCCL was incorporated in January, 1972 to manage and operate the taken over coking coal mines.
Nationalisation of the non-coking coal mines followed soon after in May, 1973 and 182 non-coking units located adjacent to 
coking coal mines were also put under the control of BCCL.

BCCL became a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd.(Holding Company) when the later was incorporated in November, 1975. 

At nationalisation there were: 

Coking Coal Mines	           	214
Non-coking Coal Mines	           	182

Total	        			396

They were reorganised -organised into 87 existing units. Each Area consists of a group of mines. 
Mines currently grouped under 13 Areas with mines under each Area varying from 4 to 9. 

They currently have the following units in operation: 

13 Opencast Sites, 49 underground mines, 25 mixed sites (giving a total of 87 mines). 9 washeries and one under 
construction, 4 By-Product Coke Plants and one ropeway for sand winding.

Central Coalfields Limited (CCL)

A more promising field is the Pench Valley, in the Chindwara district. There is at present only a NG line to it, but it is 
hoped to have a BG connection and to work the field on a large scale. In 1908 the total production was 120, 249 tons per 
annum. i

"....we have just returned from a tour over some of the NG lines of the BNR...a fine example of how they bring traffic to 
the parent line was to be seen at Gondia Jn, where NG self discharging wagons transfer loads brought by them from the Pench 
valley Coal fields to larger wagons running on the BG...." ii

were in CCL then in SECL before formation of MCL in 1992. Production of coal raised from 0.91 M.T. in 1972-73 to 36.72 M.T. 
in 2002-03.
