It is in the Johila coalfield operated by South Eastern Coalfields Limited.[4] The project is part of the Nowrozabad colliery operating since 1940s owned by the Rewa Coalfields Limited which got nationalised in 1973[5] The project has been operating with the consent received from Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution Act) 1974 and Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution Act) 1981 which is valid till 31 July 2020. The project needs to seek Environment Clearance from the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change to continue its operation.[6]
