Background on Mine

The mine, under development by Sasan Power, a wholly owned subsidiary of Reliance Power, would have supplied the Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project, a 4,000 megawatt project. Chhatrasal was one of three captive mines, in addition to Moher and Moher Amlori extension, contributing to the 25 million tonnes of coal per annum needed by the power plant. The Indian Ministry of Coal states that the mine has total reserves of 150 million tonnes of coal, and the larger coalfield, 750 million.
