In what can be seen as music to the ears of the Chandrababu Naidu government, a study has reportedly concluded that the Chintalapudi area of Godavari valley has more than 3,000 million tonnes of coal reserves. If this could be harnessed effectively, sources say that this could turn Andhra Pradesh into a major player for power and allied sectors. An upbeat TDP government is all set for seeking clearance from the Union coal ministry to commence mining as soon as possible. The study conducted by the Lucknow-based Birbal Sahni Institute of Paleobotany, was published in the Journal of the Paleontological Society of India, which mentioned that coal reserves are available from Somavaram in Krishna district to Rajamundry in East Godavari district within 500 meters depth . The government seems to be overjoyed as coal is known for playing a vital role in the economic development of a region offering a cheap source of electricity production while also creating employment opportunities for thousands of people.
