Adani Power Gets Nod to Start Mining at Dhirauli Coal Block in Madhya Pradesh

Adani Power Ltd. on Tuesday said it has received the coal ministry’s approval to begin operations at its subsidiary’s Dhirauli mine in Madhya Pradesh. The block has a peak capacity of 6.5 mtpa, including 5 mtpa from open cast mining and the balance from underground operations.

This is Adani Power’s first captive coal mine to get operational clearance, with a 30-year lease. The company said the mine will support cost optimisation and enable it to supply power at competitive prices.
