Do not allow privatisation of Singareni under any circumstances

The manifesto highlights promised that the Congress party would not allow the privatisation of Singareni Collieries Company Limited. As of July 2026, Singareni remains a public sector undertaking and has not been privatised; both state and central government representatives have publicly reaffirmed that it will remain a public enterprise. The promise as a negative commitment, that privatisation would not occur, has been honoured, supporting a fulfilled verdict. Separately, opposition leaders have alleged that the state government's financial and administrative decisions, such as bonus calculations and unresolved electricity dues owed by state utilities, are weakening Singareni financially in ways that could increase pressure toward privatisation in future; these are political allegations rather than established facts, and are noted here as context only, since they do not concern the state of privatisation itself. Budget: not applicable; this is a negative, ownership-status commitment.
