Involvement in coalgate scam
Congress MP Naveen Jindal's Jindal Steel and Power got a coal field in February 2009 with reserves of 150 crore (1,500 million) metric tonnes while the Government-run Navratna Coal India Ltd was refused.[10] On 27 February 2009, two private companies got huge coal blocks. Both the blocks were in Odisha, one of 300 metric mega tonnes and one of 1,500 metric mega tonnes. Combined worth of these blocks is well over ₹2 lakh crore.

These blocks were meant for the liquification of coal. One of these blocks was awarded to JSPL. Naveen Jindal's Jindal Steel and Power was allotted the Talcher coal field in Angul, Odisha in 2009, after the cut-off date by the Central Government on allocation of coal blocks.[11] The Opposition parties alleged that the Government violated all norms to grant the coal fields. Naveen Jindal, however, denied any wrongdoing.[11] On 15 September 2012, an Inter Ministerial Group (IMG) headed by Zohra Chatterji (Additional Secretary in Coal Ministry) recommended cancellation of a block allotted to JSW (Jindal Steel Works), a Jindal Group company.

Iron ore reserve mining in Bolivia
On 3 June 2006, Bolivia granted development rights for one of the world's largest iron ore reserves in the El Mutún region to Jindal Steel. With an initial investment of US$1.5 billion, the company plans to invest an additional US$2.1 billion over the next eight years in the South American country.[12]

Jindal Steel is likely to terminate the contract of investing $2.1 billion in setting up a steel plant in Bolivia, due to non-fulfilment of contractual obligations by the Bolivian Government.[13]

Coal mining in Mozambique
In the coal-rich Tete province of Mozambique, local communities were displaced and resettled due to coal operations owned by Jindal Power and Steel, Vale, and Rio Tinto, and have faced significant and sustained disruptions in their ability to access water and to produce or buy food.[14]
