Background
The Khadia coal mine is an opencast mine, operated by Northern Coalfields Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India, with a capacity of 14 million tonnes-per-annum (MTPA) in Sonbhadra (Uttar Pradesh) and Sidhi (Madhya Pradesh), India.[4] Northern Coalfields Limited, a subsidiary of Coal India, operates the Khadia mine.
In an effort to meet the demand of power-grade coal, NCL currently seeks to expand the mine's capacity from 14 to 20 MTPA.[5] The proposal, which was introduced in 2021, is still pending approvals.
In July 2022, a proposal to increase the mine's production capacity from 14 to 15 MTPA over the existing mining lease area of 851.78 hectares was granted environmental clearance (EC). The approval was a part of a special dispensation in which India's Ministry Of Coal requested the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) to consider skipping the public consultation stage of the approval process and granting immediate ECs to coal mining projects requesting expansions up to 50% of their operating capacity within their existing mine lease area. The move is a part of India's push to enhance coal production in order to meet the country’s energy requirement.[6]
