He said he had pursued the allocation through several meetings, beginning with a discussion with the then union coal minister on seven March 2024, followed by representations during the Centre’s coal block auction in Hyderabad in June 2024 and a meeting on 27 November 2024. He added that he renewed the request during a visit to Delhi in May this year and noted that the chief minister had also sought allocations from the prime minister. The account outlined a sustained campaign of representations to central authorities.

The Tadicherla-2 open-cast block in Jayashankar Bhupalpally district contains 434.14 million (mn) tonnes (t) of geological reserves, of which around 340 mn t are mineable. With an annual production target of 10 mn t, the block is expected to support mining operations for nearly 40 years and to yield high quality G-nine grade coal. Authorities said the project is projected to generate direct and indirect employment for over 3,000 people and to stimulate socio-economic development in the Bhupalpally region.

Officials said the project will improve rail, road and other infrastructure and provide long-term coal security for Telangana’s power and industrial sectors. They indicated the allocation would play a key role in SCCL’s expansion plans and help it approach a target of 100 mn t of annual production. The deputy chief minister urged the union government to consider further coal block allocations to consolidate the company’s capacity.

Telangana credited its sustained efforts with securing the allocation of the Tadicherla-2 coal block to Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), the deputy chief minister and energy minister said, calling the decision a major boost for the company. He thanked the prime minister and the union minister for coal and mines for approving the allocation and presented it as the outcome of two years of persistent engagement by the state government. The allocation was framed as strengthening long-term prospects for SCCL and coal security for the state.
