Background on Mine
The Ramagundam Opencast -III Coal Mine Project is operated by Singareni Collieries Company Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India, on an area of 1393.81 Ha in village Venkatrao pally Jallaram, Mandal Ramagiri, District Peddapalli, State Telangana, India.[5]
According to its latest environmental statement, the project was accorded with environmental clearance by MoEF, Vide letter No. J11015/23/86-IA dated 17.02.1988 for a rated capacity of 2.75 MTPA, subsequently production was raised from 2.75MTPA to 4.30 MTPA with peak production of 5.0MTPA and mine block area from 442.0 Ha to 756.71 Ha(surface) with total land requirement up to 1393.81 Ha. Environmental Clearance is accorded by Ministry Of Environment and Forests in July 2008 for this extension project. Later again it has been proposed to extend the mine boundary towards south side annexing the property of underground mines i.e. GDK 8 and 8A inclines named as RG OC-III Extension Phase –II Project. It is proposed now to increase the production capacity of the project from 5.0 MTPA to 6.8 MTPA with peak production and mine block area from 756.71 Ha to 1113.30 Ha(surface) with total land requirement up to 2070.10 Ha. Public hearing was conducted on 06th August 2014. Environmental Clearance is accorded by Ministry Of Environment and Forests for this extension project dated 02 March 2021 for a peak production capacity of 8.16 MTPA, again Environmental Clearance is accorded by Ministry Of Environment and Forests for this extension project vide letter .No J11015/43/2013-IA.II (M) dated 16 December 2022 for a peak production capacity of 9.52 MTPA.
