Singareni Expands Beyond Coal for Global Growth
Singareni, a 136-year-old coal company, is planning to grow beyond just coal to stay competitive.
The Deputy Chief Minister of Telangana, Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu, said the company needs to explore rare earth minerals like lithium, graphite, and copper, as well as green energy sources like solar and hydrogen power.
Singareni already supplies coal to many states and has partnerships in other places, like Karnataka.

The company is also focusing on worker safety, welfare, and skill development to adapt to future challenges.

The company aims to participate in auctions for rare earth and critical minerals like lithium, graphite, and copper.
Singareni is diversifying into green energy sectors, including solar, hydro, and hydrogen power.
