The faces behind the success: Meet the Directors of BGR Mining

Building a business and managing it, taking it to new heights are two different things altogether. Meet the faces behind one of India’s top coal mining companies – the Directors of BGR Mining: I. DEEPAK REDDY With a Master’s of Science in engineering, I. Deepak Reddy is an experienced industry leader. He has been involved in several open cast projects under coal mining sector. Having eight years of direct exposure in executing several projects, he has meticulously handled issues relating to the operational methods. He is good at liaison, averts disputes, and thus, he achieves the planned goals well within the time frame. Deepak is currently working with BGR Mining as the Director of Northern Coal Field projects. B. KARTHIK REDDY With exposure to several projects abroad, B. Karthik Reddy is quite familiar with corporate functions. His present focus is on harnessing the lignite projects up to the ultimate stage from the greenfield/virgin status. He is handling the plan...

Experts at BGR Mining, a leading Indian mining company, share their views on the present and future of coal use

The disturbed regeneration-consumption cycle of coal has been under review and subject of serious discussions for decades now. Though the government has taken certain initiatives to promote the use, awareness, and potential application of renewable resources, experts such as ID Reddy, BGR Mining director , say that fossil fuels, especially coal, cannot be replaced anytime soon in spite of keeping in mind the dependency and scope of renewable counterparts. What is the current use and status of coal? Nearly 45% of the energy needs in India are fulfilled via coal and, apart from that, approximately 80% of the electricity generated in the country’s power sector is primarily driven by coal. And what’s worse? The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) reports claim that as of January 21, 2019, seven thermal power plants of more than 9,000 MW capacity suffered from a red level of lack of coal stocks. Of the two types of coal, coking and non-coking, the latter is used for ...

Comminution Process: How energy-savings can be increased in mining

Mining is known for its long-lasting and resource consuming processes which ultimately lead to an increase in cost and consumption of energy. For instance, the Comminution process, the combination of grinding and crushing, consumes approximately 3% of the total global electricity. In addition, the Coalition for Energy Efficient Comminution (CEEC) states that the process is responsible for 10% production costs. Designs In order to control the energy consumption, different comminution circuit designs undergo a hit and trial approach since there is no standard design that fits every circuit. Samples of the ore are collected and their characteristics are studied comprehensively. The results of this analysis are processed through various comminution designs until the energy savings are maximized. Circuit designers Designers have to choose the appropriate type of mill (solid material crushing device) or design depending upon the characteristics of ore, applications, op...

Range of coal mining solutions provided by private players

Mining minerals and resources from the depths of the planet is not an easy task. It requires an extreme amount of precision, machinery, and planning for successful operations that do not harm the environment. This is the major reason behind hiring premier private players to handle the development and operations of an individual, or series of mines. In order to understand the type of solutions available, here is the list of services offered by one of the major players of Indian mining industry, BGR Mining: Contract Mining Mining projects have a target of extracting a certain level of coal in a given period of time. Private players like BGR Mining focus on achieving maximum efficiency in operations so as to minimize cost and maximize output. This includes mine analysis and corresponding design, planning for execution of fundamental operations, and maintenance of heavy as well as small equipment/machinery. Mine Development and Operations (MDO) This includes th...
