In this context to obtain fresh Environmental clearance, Pre-feasibility report is being submitted.

The Boundaries of the Mine are as follows: North - RG O.C-III Expansion Project South - GDK 10 Incline East - Jallaram Shaft West - RG O.C-I Expansion Project

The total area of the project is 205.34 Ha and Continuous Miner with LHDs are deployed in this mine. The main mode of entries is by pair of Inclines driven from surface to IV seam.

III. Need for the project and its importance to the region and country

Coal is the most important and abundant fossil fuel in India. It accounts for 56.42% (Source: Ministry of Power, GoI) of the country's energy need. The country's industrial heritage was built upon indigenous coal. The per capita energy consumption in India rose from 30.1 KWH during 1st Five Year Plan (1951-56) to 813.33 KWH during the 2010-11 and estimated to 1400 kwh by the 2018. Considering the limited reserve potentiality of petroleum & natural gas, eco-conservation restriction on Hydel project and geo-political perception of nuclear power, coal will continue to occupy centre-stage of India’s energy scenario. The generation capacity of Coal and Lignite based Thermal Power Plants in India raised from 1004 MW during the year 1950 to 185173 MW during the year 2016 (Source: Ministry of Power, GoI). The coal reserves of India up to a depth of 1200 m have been estimated by the Geological Survey of India at 285.67 billion tones as on 1.4.2011 (Source: MoC, GoI). Though Power from renewable sources is planned ,thermal Power is in demand to sustain the Industrial growth.

IV. Demand - Supply Gap The below table reveals that total availability of coal from the existing projects, projects under implementation and approved projects is inadequate to meet the total demand and a substantial gap remains unfulfilled. Hence, opening of new mines in the adjoining / superjacent areas / seams for higher production is justified to mitigate the demand - supply gap.

Demand - Supply Projections (Units in Million Tonnes) Sl.No Year 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20

1 Demand 77.55 93.05 101.5

2 Production 68.40 72.00 75.05

3 Gap -9.15 -21.05 -26.45

The Singareni Collieries Company Limited is only coal producing company catering the needs of energy requirements in South India. A supply gap of 16.50 million tones is projected by the terminal year of 12th Five Year Plan, i.e. 2016-17 (Working Group of MoC). Hence, SCCL is taking following steps to increase the coal production:

Reconstruction of existing mines for optimizing production with the introduction of intermediate and high technology.

Opening of new mines in the adjoining / superjacent areas / seams for higher production.

Adopting opencast working wherever possible for high rate of production.

Reconstruction of shallow underground workings for extraction of remnant coal reserves by opencast method.

As a part of Reconstruction of existing underground mines, VAKILPALLI MINE is planned for production of 0.35 MTPA with Board and Pillar method with LCCM and LHDs in view of safety and higher productivity. The manpower available in the mine will be used for operation of LCCM. Thus reconstruction of project for sustainability of production is justified in view of demand-supply gap in the country.

V. Imports vs Indigenous production Certain quantity of coal is being imported to mitigate demand-supply gap in the country. In order to reduce the imports, the various possibilities have been explored to enhance the production indigenously and as a part of capacity building of existing mines, the present proposal is made.

VI. Export Possibility: There is no possibility of export of coal from this mine as the project is linked to power plants of TGENCO, NTPC and also there is sufficient demand for industries located in Telangana and elsewhere in India.

VII. Domestic / export markets The coal produced is fed to the major domestic customers namely Power sector, Cement industries, fertilizers, brick industries etc.

VIII. Employment generation(Direct and Indirect) due to the project: The present proposal is to sustain the production capacity from the existing project. As such, there will not be any additional man power required for the project, however, indirect employment opportunities due to coal transportation, material supply, out sourcing operations will be increased to local people.

vi. Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final product, mode of transport of raw material and finished product The prime function of the coal mining industry is to extract the coal, which is found naturally

beneath the earth surface. The coal so extracted is sold as it is or some times after crushing, screening, and washing to the consumers. No raw material is being consumed in coal extraction.

Material Quantity / annum(present) Quantity / annum(proposed) Source

Explosives 159 T 167 T Explosive Companies / Suppliers

Hydraulic Oil 20.15 KL 22.44 KL Suppliers Gear Oil 1.47 KL 1.64 KL Suppliers W-Straps 2600 No’s 2896 Suppliers Roof Bolts 63570 No’s 70808 Suppliers

Marketing area of final product: Two grades of coal is being produced from this mine namely G6 and G8(Mine Avg. grade G7).The coal produced from the mine is being dispatched to the Coal Handling Plant (GDK1 CHP) which is located 5 km away from the mine, later it will be supplied to the various other consumers like Powerhouses, Cement, Textiles, Paper, Railways, and other industries as per the linkage. Some part of the coal is dispatched as ROM directly by Pit Head Delivery to consumers like Cement, Textiles, Paper, Railways, Powerhouses and other industries through private trucks. Mode of Transportation of Finished Product (Coal): Total coal from this mine is supplied to GDK1 CHP situated at a distance of 5 KM by road and from there it is transported by rail to Power plants and cement industries. Some part of G7(Mine Avg.grade) grade coal is supplied to private customers by road as Pit Head Delivery.

Resource optimization / recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined. Resources like explosives, hydraulic oils, machinery, land, power and water are fully optimized to minimize unnecessary losses during the process of extraction of coal and supply of coal to the customers. As the coal mining process does not involve any chemical process, the excess pumping of water will be useful for domestic purpose, drinking and irrigation to nearby fields. The effluents from workshop and township will be treated in ETPs and STPs respectively and waste water will be utilized for watering plantations, parks, lawns, gardens and for spraying arrangement for dust control, etc. Excess water let out from the mine will be treated in slow sand filters before discharged and used for agriculture purpose. The surplus water is being let out for irrigation of surrounding fields.

vii. Availability of water, its source, Energy / Power requirement and source

Water: The water required for the project will be met from the water pumped out from the mine workings. In the process of mining, water will be accumulated in the dip most places of the mine due to natural seepage. The water so accumulated will be collected in sumps at different places in the mine and pumped out to the surface with suitable capacity pumps. The pumped out water will be filtered on the surface and used for drinking and other mining operations on the pit head as well as supplied to the colonies. The estimated water to be pumped out from the mine is about 4733 KLD. The water requirement of project is as follows:

Power: The Coal field of Ramagundam Area is drawing power from 132 KV Sub-station of SCCL. The 132/33 kV Sub-station of SCCL near RG OC-I is located. Vakilpalli Mine is receiving power from 132/33 KV Sub-Station as per the arrangements made for the maximum power demand. The estimated peak load is 8500 HP and arrangements are made at the substation for the maximum power demand. No additional infrastructure is proposed for the above production enhancement.

Source of power supply : 132/33 KV Sub station Receiving voltage : 33 KV OHT Line (Double circuit) Metering equipment : At 33/3.3 KV Substation

Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid/solid) and scheme for their disposal In underground mine, wastes generated during the mining is very less compared to that of opencast mining. The solid waste generated will be generally the stone bands / dirt bands / shale produced during mining activity. The debris so produced will be used for underground track ballasting, leveling of the uneven floors and strengthening of surface bank head. The other wastes will include decayed timber in small proportions. The liquid wastes like used oils, grease etc; will be stored in separate tins / drums and sent to surface at regular intervals for disposing as per Hazardous Waste Management Rules. The water pumped out of the mine is treated in filter bed and reused for drinking purpose and other utilities.

workings will be around 385 m from surface. Debris so produced from inter-seam drifts will be utilized for underground track ballasting, leveling of the uneven floors and strengthening of surface bank head. Further, the rejects from mine and CHP’s will be used for laying road, filling cracks developed due to subsidence and pitching of embankments etc. In the coal extraction process, coal-containing impurities such as shale or sometimes sandstone will be transported to the coal handling plant. Here, the shale and sand stone will be picked out manually. This solid waste will be in the form of lumps. The solid waste disposal sites are identified in the low-lying areas and subsidence areas of SCCL. Hence, no appreciable impact is anticipated due to disposal of solid wastes.

(ix) Solid waste management The coal produced from the mine is not washed or treated otherwise. The separation of Shale / stones etc is done manually within the mine and also in the CHP. The debris so produced is being utilized for underground track ballasting, leveling of the uneven floors and strengthening of surface bank head. The solid waste from the townships will be collected from the collection bins and tricycles provided by SCCL. The domestic solid waste collected will be transported to the disposal sites of SCCL. The solid waste disposal sites are identified in the low-lying areas and subsidence areas of SCCL. Hence, no appreciable impact is anticipated due to disposal of solid wastes.

(x) Power requirement & supply/source

The Coal field of Ramagundam Area is drawing power from 132 KV Sub-station of SCCL. The 132/33 kV Sub-station of SCCL near RG OC-I is located. VAKILPALLI MINE is receiving power from 132/33 KV Sub-Station as per the arrangements made for the maximum power demand. The estimated peak load is 8500 HP and arrangements are made at the substation for the maximum power demand. No additional infrastructure is proposed for the above production enhancement.

Source of power supply : 132/33 KV Sub station Receiving voltage : 33 KV OHT Line (Double circuit) Metering equipment : At 33/3.3 KV Substation

7. REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN

This is an operating mine, there are no villages in the mine take are and hence no need of rehabilitation and resettlement.

8. PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES

I. Likely date of start of construction and likely date of completion(Time schedule for the project to be given)

Vakilpalli mine is a working mine having well established infrastructure. The mine was renamed from GDK-9 Incline expansion during the year 2006 and so far 2.06 MT have been extracted from this mine (till 31.03.2018) in the proposed area,i.e beyond the quarriable limits of Future OC expansion. Balance extractable reserves are 2.70 MT. With the present proposed capacity of 0.35 MTPA, the mine is likely to operate for another 9 years. Unlike manufacturing industry, the production from mining is subjected to variance over the calendar programme due to the geo-mining conditions. The project will be operated such that production will not exceed the peak production of 0.35 MTPA.
