Mention two problems faced by the coal mining industry.

Answer 1

1. Low quality of coal: Indian coal generally has a high ash content and low calorific value, which reduces its efficiency for power generation and industrial use.
2. Difficult mining conditions: Many coal mines are located in remote or forested regions, leading to challenges in accessibility, transportation, and environmental concerns. These factors increase the cost and complexity of coal extraction and distribution.
