Patna, Bihar: In a significant move, NCC Ltd has secured a major contract worth Rs 6,828.94 crore from Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL), a subsidiary of Coal India, for the extraction and transportation of coal and overburden from one of CCL’s open-cast mining projects in Jharkhand. The order, announced on October 24, 2025, will see NCC play a critical role in the extraction and transportation process at the Amrapali Open-Cast Project (OCP) in the Chandragupt area.
Key Details of the Project
Under the terms of the agreement, NCC Ltd will be tasked with the removal of 413.59 million cubic meters (M CuM) of overburden (OB) and the extraction of 233.325 metric tonnes (MT) of coal from the Amrapali OCP.
