Background on Mine
The mine was allotted jointly to Nilachal Iron & Power Ltd. for the company’s sponge iron plant and for M/s Bajrang Ispat Pvt. Ltd. The Project received the environment clearance on 23 December 2010. The Project involves R&R of 1737 PAPs and 534 PAFs consisting of land and homestead losers of 5 villages – Pagar (68 PAPs), Balia (74 PAPs),Tunda, Pandu (1435 PAPs), Chati-Bariatu (160 PAPs). Life of the mine at the rated capacity of 1 MTPA is 44 years. Public Hearing for the project was held on 7 September 2009.[2]. However, the mine was cancelled by Supreme Court in wake of the coalgate scam and further reallotted to HINDALCO Industries Limited by Ministry of Coal on 22 April 2015 and environment Clearance transferred on 28 October 2016.[3] As of today, the mine is still at the stage of getting various clearances.[4]
The mine was expected to become operational in March 2019, but it is unclear if it did so.[5]
