1.1 Salient Points Of Revised Project Report
Latori Village, Surajpur District, Chhattisgarh State
The Project Report of Nawapara was initialy sanctioned by the SECL Board on
23.2.95 for a production of 0.18 Mty with 16.17% IRR at 100% level of target
Expansion of Mine: 0.18 – 0.36 MTY (Normative), 0.55 MTY (Peak) production. The Revised Project Report was sanctioned by the SECL Board on
24.08.2009 and mainly planned to extract Pasang seam for producing coal
Project Area: 442.14 Ha. 0.36 Mty.
1.2 Marketability
Existing underground mines of Central India Coalfields (CIC) are shrinking due
to depletion of reserves. There is a shortage of superior grade (B/C) non-coking
coal production from existing mines and demand is increasing. The production
from underground mines is also stagnating. The production from Nawapara
underground mine is planned to reduce the gap between the assessed demand
and availability from different existing mines of SECL.
1.3 Linkage
Coal from proposed Nawapara underground mine is not linked to any specific
consumer. It will be included among basket linkages for miscellaneous
consumers. However, there is a large demand of superior grade coal. The
overall quality of saleable coal from the mine is considered as ‘C’ longflame

extraction, depressions on the surface will take place in steps and after long
intervals of time, and as a result reduced amount of slope and strain will develop

Rainfall Pre-Monsoon Post-Monsoon During mine development, the sandstone beds existing in the roof of the Pasang
seam (working coal seam of Nawapara UG project) will be the major source for
inflow into the mine. The development of younger coal seams (L-2 and Masan and
Dhejagir seams) in the roof behaves as aquiclude and restricts the connection
between the phreatic aquifer and the lower confining aquifers. The aquifer lying in
the immediate vicinity of mine workings only largely drained.
