Adani to export Oz coal from this year

New Delhi: The Adani Group will export the first coal from its Australian mining project this year, riding out a series of lawsuits and public litigation initiated by environmental activists.

The group’s Australian business arm Bravus Mining & Resources on Thursday said it has exposed the first of the coal seams for mining at the Carmichael mine in Australia’s Queensland province. India will be a ‘foundation customer’ for Carmichael coal and Bravus has already secured the market for 10-million tonnes per annum production, agencies quoted company CEO David Boshoff as saying.
