Шаблон:Infobox mine East Bokaro Coalfield is located in Bokaro district in the Indian state of Jharkhand.

Overview

In 1917, L.S.S. O’Malley described the coalfields in the upper reaches of the Damodar as follows: “Near the western boundary of Jharia field is that of Bokaro, covering Шаблон:Convert, with an estimated content of 1,500 million tons; close by… is the Ramgarh field Шаблон:Convert, 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 Шаблон:Convert and has an estimated capacity of 9,000 million tons.”
