==History==
The '''Carr,Tagore and Company''' was established in 1873 by Dwarkanath Tagore (1794–1846), one of the first Indian industrialists and entrepreneurs, together with his partners to form an anglo-indian trading Agency <ref>[https://www.telegraphindia.com/1141130/jsp/calcutta/story_19088637.jsp 'The Telegrapgh India' "Businessman called Tagore" by Hindol Sengupta, 30 Nov 2014]; Retrieved 11 Oct 2017</ref>. The Company aquired the 'Raniganj Colliery' which was later merged with the 'Naraincoory Colliery' to establish the '''Bengal Coal Company''' together with the [[Great Western Bengal Railway Company]]<ref> “Symphony of Progress  - The Saga of the Eastern Railway 1854-2003”; published by Eastern Railway, 2003; page 4</ref>

By the early 20th century it owned twelve collieries with an output of 60,000 tons per month<ref name =WB147/>. ''The names of these collieries is not known.''
