Balram announced that SCCL aims to produce 100 million tonnes of coal annually by 2030. To meet this goal, the company will develop new coal blocks both within Telangana and in other states.

Currently, SCCL operates a 1,200 MW thermal plant. It plans to increase this capacity to 4,400 MW by building additional units.

In a pioneering initiative, the company will establish a 250 MW pumped-storage facility at the closed Medipalli mine. It also plans to build a 200 MW geothermal unit at Pagideru, where a pilot project has succeeded.

Further projects include 500 MW of pumped-storage capacity, 1,500 MW under hybrid and RTC categories, and 700 MW of battery storage at solar plants.
