<h1>Feasibility study to repurpose decommissioned mine sites into data centres assessing technical, commercial, regulatory, and safety issues</h1> A state-owned mining company is evaluating repurposing decommissioned mine sites for data centres and has commissioned a feasibility study assessing site suitability, business models (hyperscale, colocation, edge), demand forecasts, regulatory compliance, and entry barriers (power, cooling, connectivity). The review will include geotechnical, environmental and operational-safety analyses, renewable-energy integration, and a comparison matrix to identify a preferred brownfield location among four shortlisted mine sites, producing a preliminary feasibility report by Q3 FY26. Key legal issues include permitting, environmental approvals, land-use conversion, safety liabilities and infrastructure procurement.
