Adani Power gets nod to open Dhirauli mine, boosting raw material security

Adani Power Limited has received approval from the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, to commence operations at the Dhirauli Mine in Singrauli district, Madhya Pradesh. This development, announced on September 2, 2025, is expected to provide Adani Power with enhanced raw material security and reinforce its market position.

The Dhirauli Mine, owned by Adani Power’s subsidiary Mahan Energen Ltd., boasts a peak production capacity of 6.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), including 5 MTPA from open cast mining. The geological report indicates a gross reserve of 620 million tonnes (MMT) and a net reserve of 558 MMT, ensuring decades of supply. The mine's Open Cast Peak Rated Capacity (PRC) is targeted for fiscal year 2027.

Adani Power holds a 30-year mining lease for the Dhirauli block, which is its first captive mine to receive government approval for operations. The mine is anticipated to meet Adani Power's merchant power requirements and supply coal to the nearby 1,200 MW Mahan Power plant, which is undergoing a 3,200 MW expansion.
