HYDERABAD
In a major boost to the plans of Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) to achieve at least 60 million tonnes of coal production this year (2026-27), an expert appraisal committee of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has recently recommended granting environmental clearance for the innovative and integrated Ramagundam Coal Mine Project.
The company has been waiting for a long time to secure the green nod for the project and on completion of some formalities, the EC is expected to reach SCCL over the next 10 days. The new integrated mine project has been designed with the highest-ever annual coal production capacity in SCCL’s history — 21 million tonnes per annum.
