In mid-2019, installed coal-fired power capacity totalled over 200 GW.62 The rate of growth in India's coal-fired power generation accelerated in the mid-2000s, with installed capacity more than doubling in just six years (Figure 1.14). The pace of growth in power-generation capacity has declined sharply since 2012.
Au 4.2. Long wall mining 4.2.1. A brief review of Longwall mining in India As a global phenomenon, the pace of technological change had been especially rapid in the second half of the last century, the mechanization of unit operations led to the development of Longwall technology on the concept of mass production in coal mining industry.
This is worrisome because coal-fired plants make up nearly 70% of India's power source mix. Reasons for the shortage: Heavy September rains in coal mining areas hit production and delivery and plants failed to build up their stocks pre monsoon. Diamond had outstripped supply, despite increased buying from coal India.

Talcher coalfield, bounded by latitudes 23*53′N and 21*12′N and longitudes 84*20′E and 85*23′E, covers an area of about 1800 km 2. It has 8 opencast and 3 underground coal mines in its 5 coal areas, namely, Jagannath area, Bharatpur area, Lingaraj area, Hingula area, and Talcher area.
Coal : Prime Source of Energy in India ¾Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel resources in India ¾Coal is the key contributor to the Indian energy scenario. ¾55% of the current total commercial energy needs is met by coal. ¾By 2024-25, the share of coal would come down marginally to about 50% of the total energy needs.
Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country. It is widely used for power generation and as a raw material in the industries. India ranks third in coal production. However, the country has to import coal in order to meet the rising demand for coal. In India, coal mining is conducted using two methods: underground and opencast methods.
Workplace comfort studies have been undertaken in a variety of sectors worldwide. In some countries, studies on the underground coal mine thermal environment have also been carried out. However, no analogous studies have been conducted on the thermal comfort of miners working in Indian mass production panels (MPPs). This study …
The extraction process of CBM involves the dewatering of coal seams, enabling the release of trapped methane gas [1].However, one of the primary challenges encountered during CBM production is the significant amount of water that accompanies the extracted gas [2].This water, known as produced water, poses a major problem in terms …
