Hyderabad: The Republic of Ghana has invited Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) to invest in its mineral-rich mining sector, signaling a potential international expansion for the state-owned coal major.
A high-level Ghanaian delegation met SCCL Chairman and Managing Director N. Balram at Singareni Bhavan in Hyderabad on Saturday. The visiting team highlighted Ghana’s strong mineral reserves, including gold, diamonds, bauxite, manganese, and lithium, and expressed interest in collaborating with Singareni to scale up production.
The delegation noted that coal mining exists in Ghana and requested Singareni’s expertise in developing that segment. They invited the company to consider investment opportunities and promised full cooperation from their government.
