The project covers an area of 16.076 sq. km which is carved out of Koyagudem Geological Block - I & Block - II. The project is designed for a rated capacity of 3.60 MTPA with peak capacity 4.80 MTPA (from 11th year to 18th year of project life) in the mining lease area of 1607.60 Ha. which includes 1158.93 Ha. of forest land. Out of 1158.93 Ha of total forest land requirement, 464.77 Ha of forest land has already been diverted for mining purpose. Mining lease is to be obtained for the part of the project, since, the areas under the mining lease i.e. KOC - I Mining lease (247.00 Ha-valid up to 13.05.2031) and KOC - II Mining lease - Phase I (231.94 Ha FL - valid up to 25.02.2028) will also be utilized.[5]
