Paras Power & Coal Beneficiation's Ambitious Coal Washery Project in Chhattisgarh

The ambitious "Coal Project at Baloda," in Janjgir-Champa, Chhattisgarh, is being undertaken by Paras Power and Coal Benefication Limited. This project plans to generate 0.96 million tonnes of coal annually (Mln tpa) at a cost of 15 Crores.
