1 Latest certified compliance report from Regional Office of MoEFampCC

Dr MT Karuppiah Scientiest-C Ministry of Environment Forest amp Climate Change

Regional Office (South Eastern Zone) - Chennai visited the site and issued the

compliance report on 28112014 The same is attached as Annexure-I for your kind

perusal

2 Status of the Suliary Belwar Coal Block including EC amp FC

Originally the requirement of coal for the project is envisaged from Suliary Belwar Coal

Block Madhya Pradesh being developed by State Mineral Development Corporation The

quality parameters requirement in MTPA etc of the coal are furnished in EIA report

Contdhellip P-2

SCCL Fuel Analysis Details

The coal requirement for the project is 395 MTPA based on GCV 3700 KcalKg Daily coal

requirement is 12023 Tonnes The coal will be sourced from SCCL Telangana State

The Indigenous coal (40 MTPA as per MoU) will be obtained from Ms SCCL a

Government of Telangana under taking An MOU has been signed with Ms SCCL for supply

of 40 MTPA coal and will be transported by rail to the proposed power station

The quality parameters of SCCL Indigenous coal are tabulated in below
