Moving against a general trend among Indian miners of closing down underground mines, State-run Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has started work on developing a new underground mine in the southern state of Telangana.
SCCL will develop the Kalyani Khani-6 Incline block in Telangana with estimated extractable reserves of 15.65-million tons through a new underground mining project carved out of the Mandarmarri block.
