Hasdeo Arand is a forest in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. It is located on top of the Hasdeo coalfield. The government of India has proposed to mine the coal, which would destroy the forest.

The coalfield in question Hasdeo is a large coal field located in the east of India in Chhattisgarh. Hasdeo represents one of the largest coal reserve in India having estimated reserves of 5.18 billion tonnes of coal.

Though the coal mining sector in India is primarily state-owned, through Coal India, this proposal would enable the creation of a privatized, commercial coal sector. The Adani Group led by Gautam Adani is among the companies lobbying for a stake.
