The Hingula deposit lies in the Talcher Coalfield (Odisha) and belongs to the Permian Gondwana sequence, with thick coal seams of the Barakar Formation. The seams occur at comparatively shallow depths, with aggregate geological resources exceeding 700 million tonnes. Most of the coal is thermal (Grades D–G), approximately equivalent to Grade G12 under the current classification.Within the Hingula block there are about 11–19 workable seams (depending on the sector), with thicknesses ranging from 0.3 m up to 22–32 m. The seams belong to the Barakar Formation (the lower part of the Gondwana sequence), overlain by sediments of the Talcher Formation. Most seams have gentle to moderate dips, with an average dip of roughly 20–40°. From Seam II-D through Seam IX there are substantial coal horizons; one seam attains a maximum thickness of approximately 31.5 m. This indicates the presence of relatively “young,” thick thermal-coal seams typical of the central part of the Talcher Coalfield.In the mines of the Hingula Area, the names of the seams are: Talcher IIC, Talcher II(D+E), Talcher IIIC, Talcher IIID, Talcher IIIE, Talcher IIIAC, Talcher IVA, Talcher IVB, Talcher VA, Talcher V B, Talcher VIB, Talcher VII, Talcher VIII, Local II.
Hingula OC and Balram OC mines have a Coal Handling Plants (CHP), which are not in use, because more than 95% of total coal production is done through blast-less, environment-friendly Surface Miner technology. CHP at the Balram OC mine is not operated since 2020.Action is being taken for renovation of CHPs and introduction of truck loading system of coal to road sale trucks to avoid pay loader loading, and for deployment of Mobile Crushers at stockpiles. MCL has planned for setting-up of a deshaling plant/washery, 15 Mtpa, at Balaram OCP in Hingula Area.Setting up of Deshaling plant/ Washery at Balaram OCP, Hingula Area (Capacity-15 Mty).:• Work Order for preparation of Detailed Feasibility Report (DFR) for setting up of deshaling plant/washery, 15 Mtpa, at Balaram OCP, Hingula Area was issued to CMPDI on 23.04.2024;• The draft Feasibility Report for setting-up of deshaling plant/washery at Balaram OCP has been received from CMPDI in Jan ........
