The Parsa East and Kanta Basan (PEKB) coal mine in Surguja, Chhattisgarh has become the state’s first coal mine and among the first in India to achieve complete energy self-sufficiency through solar power.
Mundra Solar Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Green Energy Limited, has been commissioned to power the mine’s internal operations through a 9 MW solar power plant. It is spread over 30 acres of reclaimed mine land.
