Coal India starts production at 12 MTPA coal mine in Jharkhand

12 Jul 2014 Evaluate

In order to increase supply to fuel-starved power plants, state-run Coal India has started production at its 12 million tonne per annum (MTPA) coal mine in Jharkhand. The Jharkhand project is said to be one of the major mining projects in the recent few years. The coal produced from the mine will be evacuated through Tori-Shivpur railway line which, however, is yet to be completed.

The Amrapali opencast coal mine of Central Coalfields (CCL), a Coal India subsidiary, is located in Chatra district of Jharkhand. It has a ‘mineable’ reserve of 291 million tonnes. CCL took almost 10 years to begin mining coal from the Amarpali coal mine mainly due to delays in land acquisition and in the absence of rail line to connect the mining project.

Coal India is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
