After coal extraction, the journey of a mine does not end — it marks the beginning of ecological restoration and sustainable transformation.

The Parsa East & Kanta Basan (PEKB) Mine in Surguja, Chhattisgarh, stands as a remarkable example of this commitment. Once an active mining site, the area has now been transformed into a lush green landscape, reflecting how responsible mining practices and environmental conservation can go hand in hand.

Today, the PEKB Mine is a living testament to the fact that mine closure can pave the way for a greener, more sustainable future.

Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, India is redefining the role of coal, from a conventional energy source to a strategic driver of energy security, industrial development, and sustainable growth. Coal gasification reflects the nation’s commitment to Aatmanirbhar Bharat, technological innovation, reduced import dependence, and the creation of a cleaner, low-carbon economy.
