The Indian Resource Industry has been witnessed a noteworthy development in recent past. In view of that, Lanco has gained significant momentum by building its natural resources portfolio of operating and under-development assets in India & Globally. Developing of natural resource portfolio is Lanco’s strategic move towards ‘Project Integration’ to secure fuel supply to its power plant as well as ‘Market Strategy’ to cater to the Global Market.

Coal Business has remained the key focus area for Lanco in the recent past. With this, Lanco has joined the exclusive league of mine developer & operators in India having more than 2 billion tonnes of coal resources into its business portfolio. This portfolio is currently producing more than 4 MTPA of coal and equipped to augment the production from 4 MTPA to ~40 MTPA by 2020.

The Lanco Resources division comprises the following verticals:

Coal Mining
	Operating:
	Griffin Coal Mine, Australia (Largest coal mine in Australia)
	In the face of bourgeoning global coal market, Lanco has made a strategic move into the global resources industry. The company, though it’s Australian Subsidiary, acquired "Griffin Coal" in the year 2011; the largest individual supplier of thermal coal to Western Australia's Industrial coal market with over 1.2 billion tons of coal resources. Griffin currently mines around 4 million tons per annum (MTPA), which essentially caters to domestic customers with an export quantity of around 0.75 MTPA through Kwinana port. From the present level of production of 4 MTPA, Lanco plans to ramp up the mining production capacity four-fold to around 18 MTPA by the year 2018.
	Under development:
	Mahatamil
	Besides Griffin Coal, Lanco is developing another flagship project including a coal mine with an integrated power plant in Chhattisgarh State. The project has been awarded by MahaTamil Collieries Limited {MTCL; a joint venture company of Tamil Nadu State Electricity Board (TNEB) & Maharashtra State Mining Corporation (MSMC)} to Lanco in August 2011. Having an estimated Geological Resource about 1 BT, the mine plan estimates the total production of 20-23 MTPA of coal output with an integrated Power Plant of ~4000 MW (+/-20%)of the power plant. Thus far, the Project has achieved a significant development in last one year. Geological Report (GR) is completed and subsequently Mine plan has been submitted to Ministry of Coal for approval. Subsequently, the Project Company has filed applications for obtaining various statutory clearances; which are under evaluation by respective statutory authorities and expected within the estimated timeframe. Lanco has executed MoU with TNEB for development of captive Power Plant. Besides this, potential site for the proposed pithead Power plant has been identified. The Project Company has filed applications for obtaining various statutory clearances and the approvals are under evaluation. Lanco intends to develop this prestigious project on fast track basis to commission a considerable capacity addition in next 4-6 years.
	Rampia and dip side of Rampia, India (coal block jointly allotted to six parties under the Government of India captive scheme)
	In 2008, Lanco received a Captive Coal Block from Ministry of Coal, Govt. of India to secure fuel supply for one of its prospecting power plant of a 1000 MW i.e. Babandh Power. In principle, the allocation of coal block was destined for Power as End-Use consumption. The project company has already filed the application for Prospecting License (PL) to the respective State Government. Once PL is granted, the JV Company is set to undertake the Land Scheduling, Exploration, Topographic Survey, MDO selection & EC Clearance etc. as subsequent processes.
