BUT PIRGANJ ONLY
The Khalashpir coal mine project in Pirganj Upazila, Rangpur, Bangladesh, discovered in 1989, holds an estimated 500 million metric tonnes of high-quality bituminous coal. Despite its potential to support a 400-500 MW power plant, the site has remained largely abandoned for years, with plans for underground extraction hindered by funding and feasibility issues.
Key details regarding the Khalashpir coal field:
Location and Size: Situated in Pirganj, Rangpur, the deposit covers an area of 12 to 25 sq km.
Coal Quality: The reserve consists of high-quality bituminous coal (approx. 11,500 BTU grade).
Development Status: The project has faced long-term delays and was reported as abandoned, with calls for the government to resume extraction.
Potential Impact: Experts estimated the field could support mining for over 100 years and fuel a 400-500 MW power plant.
