Mumbai Mint (formerly Bombay Mint): One of India's oldest mints, the history of the Mumbai Mint dates back to the late 17th century when Governor Gerald Aungier established a mint in Bombay. The first Bombay Mint rupees were struck in 1672. The present Mumbai Mint was established in 1829 under the supervision of Captain John Hawkins of the Bombay Engineers and continues to produce circulation coins, commemorative coins, medals, and other mint products.
Kolkata Mint (formerly Calcutta Mint): The origins of the Kolkata Mint trace back to the East India Company's treaty with Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah on 7 February 1757. The first Calcutta Mint issued rupees in the Mughal style with Persian inscriptions. The second mint was established in 1792, followed by the Strand Road Mint, which commenced operations on 1 August 1829. In 1952, minting operations were shifted to the modern Alipore Mint. Throughout its history, the Kolkata Mint has produced coins in various metals, medals, decorations, and commemorative pieces, and has also struck coins for several foreign countries and territories.
Hyderabad Mint: Originally established in 1803 as the Royal Mint of the Nizam of Hyderabad, it came under the Government of India in 1950. A modern mint complex at Cherlapally was inaugurated on 28 August 1997, and operations were fully shifted from the historic Saifabad Mint on 1 November 2001. Equipped with modern minting technology, the Hyderabad Mint undertakes the complete coin manufacturing process, including blanking, annealing, striking, and finishing, and also produces commemorative coins, medals, medallions, and refined silver.
Noida Mint: Established to meet the growing demand for coinage after Independence, the Noida Mint is India's fourth and only post-Independence mint. The project was approved in 1984, construction began in 1986, and the mint was dedicated to the nation on 1 July 1988. It was the first mint in India to produce stainless steel circulation coins and is equipped to convert coin blanks into finished circulation and commemorative coins.
In 2020, SPMCIL opened a Counter Sale at its Corporate Office in New Delhi. In 2024–25, the Noida Mint also began Counter Sales, although it primarily stocks coins from the other three mints, as Noida Mint has not issued any Proof or UNC sets. The addresses mentioned are locations where collectors can visit and make their purchases.
Note: The Proof and UNC coins are
booked at India Government Mints and not from Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
