Arunachal Pradesh inaugurated its first commercial coal mine at Namchik-Namphuk in Changlang district on 6 October 2025, marking its entry into India’s coal-producing states. The project, managed by Coal Pulz Pvt Ltd (CPPL), holds approximately 1.5 crore tonnes of coal reserves and is expected to generate over ₹100 crore annually for the state. This development strengthens India’s energy security, provides employment opportunities, and stimulates local economic growth. It also signifies the integration of the North East region into national industrial and mineral supply chains, promoting long-term regional and technological development.
