Rajrappa open cast project and Rajrappa washery have been operational for several decades. The detailed project report for Rajrappa open cast project for a rated capacity of 3.0 million tonnes of run-of-mine coal capacity was sanctioned by the government in1983. Rajrappa washery was designed for a rated capacity of 3 million tonnes of run-of-mine capacity in 1975. Earlier, the entire project was operational south of the Damodar River.{{cite web| url = http://environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/Online/TOR/30_Sep_2018_205156263F1IOYOL8Annexure-PreFeasibilityreportofProject.pdf |title = Pre-feasibility Report of Rajrappa Washery and OCP |publisher= | accessdate = 27 December 2020}}

Rajrappa OCP and washery are located in the Ramgarh Block-I, Block II & Block-IV in the south-eastern part of Ramgarh Coalfield. Block I&IV is located in Ramgarh district south of the Damodar River and Block II is located in Bokaro district north of the Damodar River. Block I&IV and Block II are separated by the Damodar River. Earlier only Blocks II &IV were operated. Production in Rajrappa OCP was 2.72, 2.84 and 2.35 million tonnes in 1991–02, 1992-93 and 1993-94 respectively. It was 1.53, 1.91, 1.31 million tonnes in 2015–16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively.

As per a pre-feasibility report prepared in 2018, Rajrappa OCP and Rajrappa Washery will have an annual capacity of 3 million tonnes. All the three blocks on both sides of the Damodar River would be worked. Total estimated life of the mine and washery is 29 years.

According to the Report on Prevention of Illegal Coal Mining and Theft, “The main source of illegal mining of coal and theft is abandoned mines. After economic extraction is over, the remaining coal in an abandoned mine is stolen by coal mafias, villagers leading to roof falling, water flooding, poisonous gas leaking, leading to the death of many labourers.”In the Ramgarh Coalfield of CCL, illegal mining activities are taking place in Karma old quarry, Sugia, Rauta, Gidhania, Burakhap old quarry. Rajrappa – I, II & III quarry. Illegal mining also takes place in the fringe areas and outside the leasehold areas of CCL.{{cite web| url = http://www.indiaenvironmentportal.org.in/files/Report-Prevention%20of%20%20illegal%20coal%20mining%20and%20theft.pdf |title =Report – Prevention of Illegal Coal Mining and Theft | work= Pages 3, 39 |publisher= Standing Committee on Coal & Steel, 2010 | accessdate = 18 December 2020}}
