Background on Mine

The 95 million ton-per-annum Ib Valley coal mines are owned by Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (a subsidiary of state-owned Coal India).

Expansions

In 2013, the Ib Valley expansion projects included Gopalji- Kaniha opencast project (30 MTPA), Kulda-Garjanbahal Expansion (40 MTPA), and Lajkura-Orient Expansion (15 MTPA)., but these have all been shelved and likely canceled.
