Open Cast Coal Mines

One of the most reliable and abundantly
available natural resource, coal becomes an important asset for the economic
potency of steel and power industry. Forming the backbone of all our
existing and future business plans, our open cast coal mines are the key
drivers of the infrastructure sector.
A testimony to our deep-rooted philosophy of self-reliance, our open cast
coal mines have significantly contributed towards our endeavors to achieve
comprehensive back end integration.
Situated at a distance of 55 Km from the Raigarh plant in the State of
Chhattisgarh, these mines provide coal for captive consumption at the plant.
The mining operations started in 1999 and today, our entire requirement of
coal is being fully met with, by these mines.
Production Abilities:

Spread across an area of 705 hectares,
with coal reserves of about 100 million MT, the mine is well connected to
our Raigarh plant with an all-weather metaled road that has been built by us
exclusively for this purpose. The mine is developed using the latest
machinery and is supplemented by fully mechanized systems. The production
capacity of the coal mine is being increased to 6 million MTPA; which will
be fully used by the Raigarh plant.
To improve the quality of coal that comes out of these mines, a 6.0 million
TPA coal washery has been commissioned and is now operating successfully,
where 47-48% ash coal is washed to 26% ash. This washery meets the
requirements of coal for the sponge iron plant.
Facilities Offered:

We value each member of our workforce and
provide best facilities to generate a favorable work culture. In our effort
to nurture the workers and their families, we provide amenities like
housing, dispensary etc to all employees stationed at our mine works. We are
also planning to shortly build a modern colony, with facilities like school,
hospital, parks and gardens.
