integrated coal washery and captive power plant. Moonidih adopts horizon mining techniques. Coal evacuation from the mine is through a series of belt conveyors. Moonidih has built underground bunkerage of 1,800 tonnes. Mining at great depths in a highly gassy environment, high levels of mechanisation and long haulages requires special efforts at mine ventilation. In 1988-89 the project achieved its peak production level of 1.2 million tonnes.
