Coal India arm SECL on Friday said it has entered into a Rs 7,040-crore pact with TMC Mineral Resources for undertaking large-scale coal production using paste filling technology.

This process prevents land subsidence and ensures the structural stability of the mine. "South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) is set to become the first coal PSU in India to adopt paste fill technology for coal mining... To implement this innovative underground mining technology, SECL has signed a Rs 7,040 crore agreement with TMC Mineral Resources Pvt Ltd," the public sector unit said in a statement.
