# Vietnam TKV mineral and coal management > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/vietnam-tkv-mineral-and-coal-management > Updated: 2026-08-27T02:15:14.000Z. Sources: 3. Developments: 2. The Vietnamese government has implemented new regulatory frameworks for the Vietnam National Coal-Mineral Industries Holding Corporation Limited (TKV). Through Decree 325/2026/ND-CP, the government established a specialized management mechanism granting TKV expanded authority over the surveying, exploration, extraction, and processing of coal, bauxite, and other strategic minerals. This decree allows TKV to act as a central management hub for both its own mines and those licensed to subsidiaries, ensuring unified production standards. It also created a ‘TKV market,’ empowering the corporation to adjust prices for most goods and services, such as alumina and coal, while providing financial mechanisms to use after-tax profits to cover costs from failed exploration or environmental mitigation projects. Following these regulatory shifts, TKV has focused on stabilizing coal supplies to support national energy security and electricity production. In the first eight months of 2026, the corporation reported significant progress in infrastructure, completing 186,616 meters of tunnel excavation. TKV is currently optimizing management plans to meet production targets for the remainder of 2026 and preparing for the 2027 operational year. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-27: TKV stabilizes coal supply for Vietnam's power production Vietnam's TKV is stabilizing coal production and tunnel excavation to ensure energy security and meet electricity sector demands through 2026 and into 2027. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tkv-stabilizes-coal-supply-for-vietnams-power-production ### 2026-08-19: Vietnam grants TKV specialized management powers for strategic minerals Vietnam has issued a new decree granting TKV expanded powers to manage, price, and coordinate the extraction and sale of strategic minerals like coal and bauxite. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-grants-tkv-specialized-management-powers-for-strategic-minerals --- Cite as: Vietnam TKV mineral and coal management.
