Thar Coal Reserves Thar Desert contains the world’s 7th largest coal reserves, totaling an estimated 175 billion tons of Lignite grade coal. This is equivalent to 50 billion ton of crude oil, more than Iran & Saudi Arabia’s combined oil reserves. Phased development can lead to 400 – 600 mt /year coal mining in 20 years MISL Confidential5
Coal Quality The coal beds of variable thickness ranging from 0.20 – meters are developed. The maximum number of coal seams found in some of the drill holes is 20. The cumulative thickness of the coal beds range from 0.2 to 36 meters. Claystone invariably forms the roof and the floor rock of the coal beds. The coal is brownish black, black and grayish black in colour. It is poorly to well cleared and compact. The quality of coal is better where percentage of clay is nominal. MISL Confidential6
Project Scope Mine & Power plant to be developed in parallel : The production capacity of Coal mine will be 22.5 Mt/a to support 4000 MW of power generation capacity for 70 years Phase 1 will be development of a 6.5 Mt/a Coal mine in parallel with 1200 MW Power Plant In subsequent phases, chemical and fertilizer plants would be set-up as part of a Mega Petro-Chemical Complex which would be supported by additional coal mining MISL Confidential7
Project Scope (continued) Power transmission line of 500 KV will be planned and constructed for 1000 mw power dispersal to power grid network. Coal Gasification System with a 36”-42” Hi- Pressure Gas Transmission Pipeline will be planned and constructed to connect to the SSGC Network at Hyderabad / Jamshoro. MISL Confidential8
