Background on Mine

The Proposed Brinda-Sisai Coal Mine Project of 0.68 MTPA on mining lease area of 1377.62 ha is located in Jamadoba Colliery in villages Pokla alias Kasidih, Ghagra, Katahi Misraul, Kishnupur, Madhwapur, Brinda, Sisai, Serangdag, Kabra, Bijua, Gopda, Nawadih, Navakhap, & Chhatti Bariytu, Tehsil Simaria, Tandwa,, Tandwa, Kherada, CD Blocks, in Districts Hazaribagh and Chatra, State Jharkand, India.

The mine was first allotted to Abhijeet Infrastructure Ltd. for the captive consumption of the 0.70 MTPA linked Sponge Iron Plant at Hazaribagh. The Project received the environment clearance on 17 May 2007. The Project involves R&R of two villages- Khalia and Katahi Misraul involving 100 land oustees and 49 losers of homesteads. Life of the mine at the rated capacity of 0.68 MTPA is 56 years. Public Hearing for the project was held on 26 September 2006..

However, the mine was cancelled by Supreme Court in wake of the coalgate scam and further reallotted to Usha Martin Limited by Ministry of Coal in March 2015 Later, Tata Sponge Iron Limited, a subsidiary of Tata Steel Limited, acquired the steel business of Usha Martin Limited (UML). The acquisition involved UML’s 1.0 MTPA specialty steel plant in Jamshedpur that makes alloy based long products, a functional iron ore mine, a coal mine under development and captive power plants.
