History
Block-II Area came into existence in the year 1983-84 primarily for the production of Coking Coal with the inclusion of the Nudkhurkee OCP, Benedih OCP, Jamunia OCP & the opening of Block-II Project. The Block-II Project was funded by World Bank. The project was envisaged to improve the financial position of BCCL and to meet the growing demand of Coking Coal in the country.

In the year 2002-03 Benedih OCP, Nudkhurkee OCP & Block-II OCP (Coking coal) were amalgamated and Block-II OCP (Non-coking) Project came into existence. In 2003-04 Madhuban Coal Washery also came under the administrative control of Block-II Area.
