West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made some big-ticket announcements at the inaugural session of the Bengal Global Business Summit 2025. One of the biggest was on coal extraction from the Deucha Pachami block, located in West Bengal's Birbhum district.

"Deucha Pachami, which is one of the largest coal blocks in the world, world's second largest with a reserve 1240 million tonnes of coal and 2600 million tonnes of basalt, from tomorrow it will begin," she said.

This, she added, will create more jobs and "for next 100 years there will be no power crisis, no power problem".
