The proposed mine infrastructure may be used in future also by other nearby projects after exhaustion of the reserves of Sanghmitra OCP. As such, the likelihood of precedence for later developments cannot be ruled out. Activities at 9.1 & 9.2 above will lead to over all socio economic growth of the area. Socio-economic benefits of the Project will accrue to local population also.

9.4

Have cumulative effects due to proximity to other existing or planned projects with similar effects

Yes

As these area are coal bearing area having very good mining potential, associated mining activities in future with numerous closely located centers as indicated at 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3 along with other activities like coal beneficiation and power generation etc can not be ruled out. This could lead to cumulative impact on environment.
