Abstract
India has the fourth largest reserves of the coal in the world. Also, it’s the 3rd largest producer of the coal in the world. This chapter targets the assessment of Gondwana and tertiary coal fields of India, their location in Indian sub-continent, its petro-graphical analysis etc. The following work will also elaborate India’s activities in exploiting this unconventional hydrocarbon source.
