SECL's Gevra mine in Chhattisgarh set to become largest coal mine in Asia

The Gevra coal mine, a megaproject of SECL, attained the status of the country's largest coal mine last year, with annual production reaching 52.5 million tons for FY 22-23. It has been contributing to the country's energy security for over 40 years, according to an SECL spokesperson.This milestone was achieved through the diligent efforts of the Ministry of Coal, which collaborated with the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) to swiftly obtain environmental clearance. The clearance highlights Gevra's significance as one of SECL's major projects in meeting the nation's energy needs.After awarding BELAZ a contract to supply 77 75137 130 t trucks for its Gevra mining complex last year, part of its South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) division, Coal India has followed this up with a new contract to the Belarussian firm for 96 7531 series dumpers of 240 t capacity. The INR 2,900 crore ($390 million) contract includes the cost of the dumpers and spares for eight years, including the one-year warranty period. Coal India has made making massive investments in mining equipment of late, including with domestic OEM BEML from whom it ordered seven BH150E 150 ton (136 t) trucks and eight BH205E 205 ton (186 t) trucks for Gevra as well as Northern Coalfields Ltd’s Amlohri & Nigahi Projects earlier in 2020. CIL wants to ramp up its production and productivity and buying larger capacity mining trucks that have greater availaibility than it ji existing ageing fleets is a step in that direction. The new contract is entirely funded internally. The first batch of six trucks will arrive within eight months of signing of the contract. SECL’s total of 240 t trucks will now mine in Asia after receiving environmental clearance on Tuesday to expand its production capacity to 70 million tons per annum from the current 52.5 million tonnes. #Sintusinghzone123
