The technology will be implemented in the Singhali underground coal mine, located in SECL's Korba area. This landmark agreement, valued at $823 million, marks a significant advancement in coal extraction methods, promising to enhance both efficiency and safety in mining operations.
Paste fill technology is designed to improve ground stability and reduce the environmental impact of mining activities. By utilizing a mixture of tailings and cement, this method allows for the safe backfilling of mined-out areas, which not only supports the mine structure but also minimizes waste.
The adoption of this innovative technology is expected to boost production capacity while adhering to stricter environmental regulations. SECL's investment reflects a commitment to sustainable practices in the coal industry, aiming to balance economic growth with ecological responsibility. As the project progresses, it is anticipated to create numerous job opportunities and contribute significantly to the local economy in the Korba region.
