Godavarikhani Coal Mine (No 2 & 2A and No 5) is an integrated/mixed mine (opencast cum underground) carved out of the existing Godavarikhani No.5 incline underground mine by converting it into opencast mine up to 300m depth of 4 seam and at the same time utilizing the surface area of Godavarikhani No.2&2A Inclines for dumping of OB and simultaneously producing coal from GDK 2&2A UG Mine. Godavarikhani Coal Mine (No 2 & 2A and No 5) is located in Vithalnagar village of Ramagundam Mandal in Peddapalli district of Telangana State. The project area of is covered under Survey of India Top sheets No. 56N/9 & 56N/10 and bounded by North latitudes 18° 43' 21" to 18° 45’ 45” & East longitudes 79° 31’ 10” to 79° 35’ 46”. The project is located in the Ramagundam Coal belt of Godavari Valley Coalfield (GVCF). The project area of the proposed mine is 1385.47 ha and the rated capacity is 3.648 (Peak: 4.648) MT {OC: 3.00(Peak: 4.00) MT, UG: 0.648 MT} Mining Plan (including Mine Closure Plan) of GDK Coal Mine (No 2 & 2A and No 5) was approved by MoC, GoI vide letter no.
