Those in an advanced stage of planning are: Dhadu, Purnadih, Magadh, and Amrapali. This happens to be the largest mining sector of [[Central Coalfields Limited]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://sinclairenvironmental.com/karanpura/coalfields.htm | title = The North Karanpura Coalfields | work = Jharkhand | publisher = sinclair-environmental | access-date = 29 November 2015 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://archive.is/20150516093809/http://sinclairenvironmental.com/karanpura/coalfields.htm | archive-date = 16 May 2015 }}</ref>
