Pench Kanhan Coalfield is located in Chhindwara District in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.

In 1924, Dr. Cyril Fox surveyed once again certain coal-bearing areas, including the Pench, Kanhan and Tawa Valleys.

[citation needed] Satpura Coalfields are located in northern Chhindwara and Betul Districts, south of the Narmada.

Outside the Damodar Valley, Satpura Gondwana Basin is the only area where coking coal is found in India.
