coal mines of India

[madhok...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am looking data on location (district, village, or GPS coordinates) of India's coal mines along with date of opening. Ideally, also date of closing for those that were shut down. If anyone knows where I might find this, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thank you,

Raahil

Hi, Raahil,

I'd some across these links last year of some students who were mapping mining in OpenStreetmap. I didn't find out more about them, had just saved the links for future exploration. Check it out:

INDIA - MONITOR MINES - PAN INDIA PART 9

Linked to this:

Harnessing transparency initiatives to improve India's environmental clearance process for the mineral mining sector

in the zipped dataset is a CSV with lat-longs of mines (maybe possible locations, maybe confirmed - idk)

And a pdf report: "Detection of Surface Mining Activity" by some IITD profs:

Then, had found these links:

https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.910894

This stuff might not be directly related to coal mines, but might help you find what you're looking for or connect with other folks who can help, so sharing. All the best.

Hi Raahil, 

Not sure if it has all the attributes you are looking for, but here is another dataset that you might find relevant, gathered using RTIs.

Sandeep Pai and Hisham Zerriffi 2021 IOPSciNotes 2 014001

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/2633-1357/abdbbb

"... a novel dataset comprised of all 459 operational coal mines in India, using multiple Right to Information Act applications ... and then combining this dataset with coal company wise employment factors to estimate direct job numbers at the district level (a sub-administrative unit). We find that coal is produced in 51 districts in 13 states in India with large variations in employment numbers among these districts."
