Background on Mine
Rights to the previously unmined 2.3 million ton-per-annum Tokisud North coal mine were sold to Essar Power (a subsidiary of the Essar Group) in March 2015. Essar will use the coal to power its new 1,200-MW Mahan Super Thermal Power Project in Madhya Pradesh, which has been idling due to a lack of coal for 18 months.[1][2] The mine will be open-pit, and Essar will contract with the AMR Group for mining services. Essar plans to begin mining within 2015.[3]
