Background on Mine

The proposed Kesla coal mine is an opencast and underground mine of 0.75 MTPA on an ML area of 750 Ha, in villages Bela and Tapra, Tehsil & District Korba, State Chhattisgarh, India.Kesla North block was allotted to M/s Rathi Udyog Ltd. (formerly known as M/s Rathi Steel & Power Limited) vide allotment letter no 38011/2/2007-CA-1 dated 5th August, 2008 to meet the coal requirement of their own Sponge Iron Plant of capacity 0.75 million tonnes per annum situated at District Sambalpur in Orissa.

However, the mine was cancelled in wake of the coalgate scam by the Supreme Court of India and a case was filed by Central Bureau of Investigation for allegedly giving false data about its land holdings and capacity to get a coal block in Chhattisgarh.

The coal block has not been further allotted and is to be auctioned by the Ministry of coal.
