'''Sijua Area''' is one of the 12 operational areas of [[Bharat Coking Coal|BCCL]] located in [[Dhanbad Sadar subdivision]] of [[Dhanbad district]] in the state of [[Jharkhand]], [[India]].

==History==
[[Jharia coalfield]] first came into the picture in the 19th century. Mining in the early days was carried out through manual and semi-manual methods, causing large scale degradation of land, forests and environment, and resulting in mine fires and subsidence. Most of the mines in the Area have a history from the pre-nationalised era. In 1972, the mines of Jharia coalfield were taken over by BCCL from the erstwhile private owners and were reorganised. Most of the mines in the Area are close to each other.<ref name=sijuaarea>{{cite web | url = http://www.bcclweb.in/?page_id=1723 | title = Sijua Area | publisher = Bharat Coking Coal Limited | accessdate = 19 June 2019}}</ref>

===Location===
The Sijua Area office is located at {{coord|23.7935|N|86.3315|E|region:IN|display=inline}}.

The map alongside shows some of the collieries in the Area. However, as the collieries do not have individual pages, there are no links in the full screen map. In the map placed further down, all places marked are linked in the larger full screen map.

The Sijua Area is located 12 km from [[Dhanbad Junction railway station]]. [[Railways in Jharia Coalfield|Dhanbad-Chandrapura line]] crosses the area in an east-west direction.<ref name=sijuaarea/>

==Collieries==
Collieries in the Sijua Area are: Mudidih, Bansdeopur, Tetulmari, Sendra Banjora, Kankanee and Nicihitpur.

==Mining plan==
An overview of the proposed mining activity plan in ''Cluster V'', a group of 7 mines in the Sijua Area, as of 2013, is as follows:<ref>{{cite web | url = http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/modification/Amendment/Covering_Letter/07022018OJLHVGZ9Annexure-CoveringLetter.pdf | title = Proposal for Amendment in Environmental clearance | work= Cluster V |publisher = Bharat Coking Coal Limited | accessdate = 19 June 2019}}</ref>

1. Nichitpur colliery with an [[Open-pit mining|open cast]] mine, has a normative production capacity of 0.60 million tonnes per year and a peak production capacity of 0.78 million tonnes per year. It had an expected life of 10 years.
