<h1>Northern Coalfields Ltd to Launch Rs 24,000-Crore Project to Relocate 50,000 Residents for Jayant Mine Expansion</h1> Northern Coalfields Ltd (NCL), a Coal India subsidiary, is set to launch a Rs 24,000-crore rehabilitation and resettlement project in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh, to relocate approximately 50,000 residents and 22,500 homes due to the expansion of the Jayant coal mine. The relocation is necessary as the mine is projected to encroach upon residential areas within two years. To fund this initiative, NCL will impose an additional Rs 300 per tonne charge on coal sales from May, aiming to generate Rs 4,200 crore annually. The project includes land acquisition costs and aims to enhance the mine's capacity to 35 million tonnes per annum by 2026-27.
