The Auranga Coalfield, spread across 240 km<sup>2</sup>, has coal of inferior quality, which is used mainly in cement kilns and brick kilns. The majority of coal in the Hutar Coalfield, spread across 200 km<sup>2</sup>, is of inferior quality. The coal available near [[Rajhara]] from the Daltonganj coalfield, spread over 51 km<sup>2</sup>, is of semi-anthracite type. Elsewhere, it is non-coking coal of inferior variety.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.preservearticles.com/education/complete-information-on-distribution-of-coal-in-india-2/20014 |title = Complete Information about Distribution of Coal in India |publisher= Preserve Articles| accessdate = 27 December 2020}}</ref><br />
