For administrative convenience, coal mines in Adilabad District are grouped under one region called Bellampalli Region, Mines in Karimnagar and Warangal District are grouped under Ramagundam Region and the Mines in Khammam District are grouped under Kothagudem Region. The mining rights of SCCL cover a stretch of 350 km, in Godavari Valley with proved coal reserves of about 10528.40 Million tones as on 01.04.2016. The total availability of coal from the existing projects. projects under implementation and approved projects is inadequate to meet the total demand and a substantial g9p remains unfulfilled. The status of demano and supply gap is furnished below and reveals the gap and justifies planning of additional new projects and reconstruction of the existing projects. The production projections up to 2018~19 can only be met by Mining Plan of Medapalle Sand Quarry II (16 Ha) of South Godavari Mining Lease near Medapalle Village of Ramagundam of Karim nagar District Plan Prepa~rd · me , . 1 rc.\ tPth tJ r ?-J'\ . ·' ' .'"'
