India’s efforts to strengthen domestic coal production and energy security are being reinforced through coal mines allocated and auctioned under the Nominated Authority (NA) framework, the government said.
Talabira II & III Open Cast Coal Mine in Odisha, allocated to NLC India Ltd. on May 2, 2016, under Schedule III of the Coal Mines (Special Provisions) Act, 2015, has emerged as a significant contributor to domestic coal availability.
Located across Sambalpur and Jharsuguda districts, the mine achieved its highest-ever annual coal production of 19.14mn tonnes in FY 2025-26, registering year-on-year growth of 11.28%. It also recorded its highest-ever daily production of 126,138.07 tonnes on March 21, 2026, and highest-ever monthly production of 3.39mn tonnes in March.
The mine achieved record annual dispatch of 17.69mn tonnes in FY 2025-26, including approximately 10.72mn tonnes supplied to the power sector and 6.97mn tonnes to the non-regulated sector. Its coal supports power plants across Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
