This mine was procured in the coal block auctions in the year 2015. The mines have extractable reserves of 29 MMT (million metric tonnes). The coal extracted from the mines will be used for the company's internal consumption and will to some extent reduce its dependence on coal purchases.

Shares of Ultratech Cement lost 0.46% to Rs 7,400.20 on BSE. UltraTech Cement, part of the Aditya Birla Group, is the third-largest cement producer outside China, and the largest in India by installed capacity.
