Singareni Finds 30 Million Tonne Coal Reserve in Ramagundam

20 Aug 2025 CW Team

The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has identified fresh coal reserves in the Ramagundam region, strengthening prospects for future mining operations.

The Exploration Department, which has been conducting surveys across the area, discovered deposits on the outskirts of Godavarikhani town. Preliminary studies indicate around 30 million tonnes of coal at a depth of 250 metres near the Sammakka-Sarakka jatara site along the Godavari. The reserves are spread across two seams, one measuring 5.5 metres and the other 3 metres in thickness.

Singareni officials are evaluating excavation options, including a tunnel from the GDK-I incline mine, as well as the use of high-wall mining technology. With several older mines nearing depletion, exploration has been intensified around Godavarikhani, GDK-5 opencast mine, OCP-2, and near Pochamma temple at the Adriyala longwall project. Linking the newly identified reserves with existing mines is also under consideration to aid extraction.

Coal reserves in the region were first discovered in 1959 near Jangaon of Ramagundam mandal. SCCL initially identified 24 million tonnes at GDK-I and began mining in 1961. Since then, about 21 million tonnes have been extracted, with the remaining three million tonnes expected to last another 12 years.

Currently, coal production continues across both underground and opencast mines at RG-1, RG-2, RG-3 and the Adriyala longwall project, with the highest output coming from four opencast mines in the Ramagundam region.
