Think these are the main blocks for Thar
Blocks:
Several coal blocks have been identified and are being developed, including:
Thar Block I: Features a 1,320 MW coal-fired power plant (also known as Thar SSRL power station) and is part of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Thar Block II: Includes a surface mine with a capacity of 3.8 million tons/year and is developed by Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company (SECMC).
Thar Block VI: Oracle Power owns a 30-year mining lease for this block, which boasts over 1.4 billion tonnes of lignite coal.
Thar Block III: Asia Power Group was awarded Thar Block III for coal mining and a coal plant through a bidding process in 2014, but it appears to be shelved or abandoned.
Thar Block IV: Is a cancelled power station.
