CMPDI Secures Ministry of Coal Approval for Revised Mining Plan of Amelia Coal Mine
Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Limited (CMPDI) has successfully secured approval of the Revised Mining Plan (RMP) and Mine Closure Plan (MCP) for the Amelia Coal Mine (5.6 MTPA) of THDC India Limited, Singrauli, from the Ministry of Coal.
CMPDI revised the Mining Plan and Mine Closure Plan and submitted them to the Ministry of Coal in July 2026 through the Single Window Clearance System (SWCS) Portal. The submission followed an expert review by the Peer Mining Plan Preparing Agency (MPPA).
Key Features of the Revised Plan
The revised mining plan incorporates both Opencast and Underground methods of mining. Coal from the Amelia mine is expected to supply the Khurja Super Thermal Power Plant in Bulandshahr and help meet the growing energy requirements of Uttar Pradesh.
Significance
The approval reflects CMPDI’s technical expertise, agility and commitment to operationalising critical mining projects. It supports enhanced coal production and strengthens India’s energy security.
The development has been welcomed as an important step in advancing planned coal output from the Singrauli coalfield region.
