Adani is proposing to develop a 60M tonne per annum mine in the gallali basin, this is three time bigger than the current largest coal in Queensland. Going hand in hand with the mine is new rail infrastructure, $3B of above rail assets, major port expansion. All these projects are being planned and driven by Adani to feed the demand for electricty in a rapidly urbanizing India. Adani already have 4 power stations position near ports in India that can take the coal they mine and are prepared to expand there to meet the nations demand for power.
Adani's project is magnificent example of the aspirations of the Queensland mining industry. It seems like every other miner alos has grand plans for 2012 to grow their business and drive economic growth and jobs in Queensland.
