India labels coking coal a strategic mineral to cut imports, boost mining, and strengthen steel supply.
India has classified coking coal as a critical and strategic mineral, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and boost domestic mining.
The move, effective under the MMDR Act, streamlines approvals, exempts projects from public consultation, and allows use of degraded forest land for afforestation.
Despite having 37.37 billion tonnes of resources, India imported 57.58 million tonnes in FY25, meeting 95% of steel sector demand.
The change supports self-reliance, attracts private investment, and strengthens the steel supply chain under national development goals.
