Background on Mine

The proposed Meral Opencast Coal Mine project of 0.5 MTPA on a lease area of 1021.89 Ha is located in Village Meral, District Palamu, State Jhakhand, India.

The mine was first allotted to Abhijit Infrastruture Limited for which the environment clearance was obtained on 23 September 2009.
