India’s SCCL goes against trend on underground coal mining projects

Contrary to the general trend across the country, southern India headquartered Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) will not phase out underground mining operations, but in fact plans to open at least two more such mines over the next few years. Company officials said that SCCL was working on two projects – Kondapuram and Manuguru – where underground mining projects would be developed over the next two to three years.
