The Deocha-Pachami coal block was earlier decided to be jointly allocated to entities of six states – West Bengal, Karnataka, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Tamil Nadu. This was under rule 4 of the auction by competitive bidding of coal mines rules, 2012.

On the basis of the requests received from the government of West Bengal, a meeting was held in the ministry of coal with the JV partners of the Deocha-Pachami coal block to review the progress of development of this coal block.
