  • In June 2020, PM Narendra Modi had launched the auction of 41 coal mines for commercial mining, as a part of the announcements made under Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan.
  • Despite of the fact that India is the fourth largest producer of coal in the world, the country is the second largest importer of coal in the world.
  • In 1973, the coal sector was nationalised.
  • This meant that domestic coal can only be mined by public sector companies.
