Value addition to MCL

MCL has estimated reserves of 65 million tonnes of coal marketable to mining, cement, chemical, brewery industries, etc. and an equal quantity of lower grade coal.

The lower grade coal, hitherto dumped along with overburden as waste material, is an excellent fuel for thermal power generation. Establishing a mine-mouth, coal fired power plant within MCL premises will therefore convert this waste material into the much needed, valuable electric power. This will add substantial value to the mining activity year after year and ensure long term sustainability of profitable operations of MCL.
