==Overview==
[[North Karanpura Coalfield]] has reserves of 14 billion tonnes of coal (proved, indicated and inferred), around 9% of India's total coal reserves, placing it among the biggest [[List of coalfields|coalfields]] in India. Only a small corner of this coalfield was exploited earlier.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sinclairenvironmental.com/karanpura/coalfields.htm |title=The North Karanpura Coalfields |work=Jharkhand |publisher=sinclair-environmental |accessdate=15 January 2021 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20150516093809/http://sinclairenvironmental.com/karanpura/coalfields.htm |archivedate=16 May 2015 }}</ref>

Future mega projects in the area include: Magadh opencast project expansion with nominal capacity of 51 million tonnes per year and peak capacity of 70 million tonnes per year, Amrapali OCP expansion with nominal capacity 25 MTY and peak capacity of 35 MTY, Sanghamitra OCP with nominal capacity of 20 MTY and peak capacity of 27 MTY, and Chandragupta OCP with nominal capacity of 15 MTY and peak capacity of 20 MTY.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.centralcoalfields.in/cmpny/mgaprjts.php |title = Mega projects |publisher= Central Coalfields Limited |accessdate = 15 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url = https://docplayer.net/38769705-Annexure-a-the-extent-of-existing-and-new-mining-projects.html#show_full_text |title = The Extent of Existing and New Mining Projects |publisher= docplayer| accessdate = 15 January 2021}}</ref>

===Mines and projects===
Magadh Opencast Project was identified for a rated capacity of 12.0 million tonnes per year for supplying coal to the [[North Karanpura Thermal Power Station]] (3X660 MW) of [[NTPC Limited]] at [[Tandwa]]. Estimated mineable reserve of Magadh OCP was 351 million tonnes. It is operating in 4 coal blocks: Magadh, Tandwa, Dumargarh and Karimati. The area has flat terrain with gentle undulation. The maximum elevation is {{convert|509|m}} in the northern side of the block. The minimum elevation is {{convert|464|m}} near the southern block boundary. It started operations in 2015. It is linked with Tandwa by a 12 km long fair-weather kutcha (unpaved) road.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.centralcoalfields.in/pdfs/sutbs/envrmnt/Magadh%20OCP.pdf|title = Environmental Statement 2015-16, Magadh Open Cast Project |publisher= Central Coalfields Limited | accessdate = 15 January 2021}}</ref>
