Q1. Consider the following statements regarding the 15th round of commercial coal mine auctions launched on April 17, 2026: 1. The launch event was held in Mumbai and led by Coal Secretary Vikram Dev Dutt. 2. The round offers a mix of fully explored and partially explored coal blocks under liberalised terms. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A Both 1 and 2 Correct

B 1 only

C 2 only

D Neither 1 nor 2

Explanation

Both statements are correct. The Ministry of Coal launched the 15th round of commercial coal mine auctions in Mumbai on April 17, 2026, with Coal Secretary Vikram Dev Dutt leading the proceedings. The round offers a mix of fully and partially explored blocks under liberalised terms designed to broaden participation among new entrants and technology-focused companies.

Q2. Consider the following with reference to the 15th round of commercial coal mine auctions launched on April 17, 2026: Assertion (A): The Ministry of Coal launched the 15th round of commercial coal mine auctions on April 17, 2026 alongside a stakeholder consultation themed Atmanirbhar Bharat: Coal for Energy Security. Reason (R): Despite India's renewable push, coal continues to provide the bulk of baseload electricity, and broadening commercial mining is intended to reduce thermal coal imports while sustaining baseload supply. Choose the correct option:

A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A Correct

C A is true but R is false

D A is false but R is true

Explanation

Both Assertion and Reason are factually true. The 15th round was launched on April 17, 2026 in Mumbai with the Atmanirbhar theme, and coal indeed provides the bulk of baseload electricity. However, R is not the direct causal explanation for A — the launch on that specific date was a scheduled policy event, while R describes the broader strategic rationale for commercial mining as a whole rather than the cause of this particular round's launch on April 17.
