Orissa Power Generation Corporation (OPGC) has rescheduled the date of coal production activities for the Manoharpur block from the earlier March 2010 to March 2014, due to delays in grant of various statutory clearances and conclusion of other pre-mining activities.
OPGC is yet to obtain the mining lease and mandatory forest clearance from the Jharkhand Government. The company is also in the process of preparing the detailed environment impact assessment report for the mining venture, which is to be submitted to the MoEF.
In view of these circumstances, the captive block is now expected to reach its peak rated capacity only by 2017-18, against the previous expectations of 2015-16.
