'''South Karanpura Coalfield''' is located in [[Ramgarh district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Jharkhand]].

==Overview==
In 1917, L.S.S.O’Malley described the coalfields in the upper reaches of the [[Damodar River|Damodar]] as follows: "Near the western boundary of Jharia field is that of Bokaro, covering {{convert|220|sqmi|km2}}, with an estimated content of 1,500 million tons; close by… is the Ramgarh field (40 square miles), in which, however, coal is believed to be of inferior quality. A still larger field in the same district is that called Karanpura, which extends over" {{convert|544|sqmi|km2}} "and has an estimated capacity of 9,000 million tons."<ref>L.S.S. O’Malley, Bengal, Bihar and Orissa, Sikkim, p.87, Cambridge University Press, 1917 (paper back 2011) {{ISBN|978-1-107-60064-5}}</ref>

==The Coalfield==
The South Karanpura coalfield forms an elongated strip along the Chingara fault. Barkakana railway junction is situated at the south-east edge of the field. There are two coal beds:the upper one is {{convert|50|ft|m}} thick and the lower one {{convert|38|ft|m}} thick, separated by sandstone, shales and shaly coal, mixed coal and shale.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://jharkhandforest.com/files/Hazaribagh_Introduction.pdf | title = The Hazaribagh District | work = Geology and Mineral Resources | access-date = 2008-08-26 }}</ref>

South Karnpura Coalfield covers an area of {{convert|195|km2}} and has total coal reserves of 5,757.85 million tonnes.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.ismenvis.nic.in/My_Webs/Digital_Library/GSingh/Critical%20evaluation%20of%20geo-environmental%20scenario....pdf | title = Critical Evaluation of Geo-Environmental Scenario of Damodar River Basin, Inia | last = Prasoon Kumar Singh, Gurdeep Singh and Brajendra Kumar Tiwary | access-date = 2008-08-26 }}{{dead link|date=May 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

==Transport==
In 1927, Bengal Nagpur Railway opened the {{convert|72|mi|km|adj=on}} [[Barkakana-Muri-Chandil line]] to traffic. In the same year the Central India Coalfields Railway opened the Gomoh-Barkakana line. It was extended to Daltonganj in 1929. Later these lines were amalgamated with East India Railway.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://irse.bravehost.com/IRHTML.htm | title = Indian Railway History Timeline | access-date = 2008-08-26 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://archive.today/20120714085533/http://irse.bravehost.com/IRHTML.htm | archive-date = 2012-07-14 }}</ref>

The [[Koderma–Hazaribagh–Barkakana–Ranchi line]] became functional between Koderma and Barkakana in 2015 and 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/pm-narendra-modi-flags-off-hazaribagh-koderma-dmu-train/| title= Hazaribagh Town railway station opens| access-date = 31 January 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/hazaribagh-barkakana-railway-line-opened-for-traffic-116120701202_1.html | title= Hazaribagh-Barkakana railway line opened| access-date = 31 January 2021}}</ref>
