Re: Eastern Coalfields limited Raniganj

Eastern Coalfields limited (ECL) is a coal producer based in India. The company came into existence in 1975 after nationalization of coal mines in India.
It inherited all the private sector coal mines of Raniganj Coalfields. It is one of the eight fully owned subsidiaries of Coal India Limited. The company has its headquarters at Sanctoria, Asansol in West Bengal.
It at present owns 105 numbers of operating mines out of which 81 are underground mines, 24 are opencast mines. The majority of its mines are in West Bengal and some in Jharkhand State.
Raniganj Coalfield is primarily located in the Asansol and Durgapur subdivisions of Bardhaman district in the Indian state of West Bengal. It spreads over to the neighbouring districts of Birbhum, Bankura, Purulia and to Dhanbad district of Jharkhand.

All non-coking coal mines were nationalized in 1973 and placed under Coal Mines Authority of India. In 1975, Eastern Coalfields Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India Limited, was formed.

It took over all the earlier private collieries in Raniganj Coalfield.

Raniganj Coalfield covers an area of 443.50 square kilometres (171.24 sq mi) and has total coal reserves of 49.17 billion tonnes, spread across Indian states of West Bengal and Jharkhand. That makes it the second largest coalfield in the country (in terms of reserves).

Out of the total reserve, 30.61 billion tonnes is in the West Bengal and 18.56 billion tonnes is in Jharkhand

The following areas of ECL are covered by the Raniganj measures: Raniganj-Pandaveswar, Kajora, Jhanjra, Bankola, Kenda, Sonepur, Kunustoria, Satgram, Sripur, Sodepur and Salanpur (partly)
