Greenfield mining consultant for India.
A specialist advisory practice helping Indian project owners take greenfield mining projects from allocation through to commissioning and early production.
Why a specialist greenfield mining consultant matters
India's mineral sector has seen a strong shift toward commercial mining, with private players taking up coal blocks, limestone, iron ore, rock phosphate and other mineral assets. The technical playbook for opening a mine is well understood. What slows projects down is not knowledge — it is the difficulty of getting land, statutory approvals, infrastructure and field execution to move together.
That is exactly where GreenPath operates. We do not write reports for their own sake or sit at one end of the project chain. We work as the integrated advisor across the full lifecycle, sequencing every approval, tracking every dependency, and helping the project team act before delays compound.
What we do
- Project diagnostic — a structured review of your current stage and the bottlenecks blocking progress.
- Mining plan approval and mining lease execution coordination with state and central authorities.
- Land acquisition support — village-wise status, revenue records, possession tracking.
- Rehabilitation and Resettlement — eligibility mapping and family-wise closure.
- Statutory clearances — EC, FC, SPCB consent, DGMS and PESO sequencing.
- Infrastructure and mine opening readiness — road, power, water, contractor mobilisation.
- Commissioning and early production stabilisation.
Who should engage GreenPath
We work with coal block allottees, commercial coal mine developers, cement and limestone project owners, iron-ore and steel-linked mining projects, promoters entering mining for the first time, and existing companies with delayed greenfield projects. If your project is moving from allocation toward production — or already delayed at any stage — a diagnostic is the right starting point.
Typical bottlenecks we resolve
- Land possession not keeping pace with approvals.
- R&R issues blocking site access.
- Mining plan and lease files stuck across multiple offices.
- EC, FC and SPCB processes treated in isolation.
- District administration and local communities out of sync with project timelines.
- DGMS and PESO readiness misaligned with first-blast and mobilisation dates.
- No single owner of the project's full critical path.
Practical deliverables
- A ranked bottleneck register specific to your project.
- An integrated approval and field-readiness schedule.
- A fortnightly review structure with management dashboards.
- Decision-support notes whenever escalation is required.
- A clear path from current stage to commissioning.
Why GreenPath
GreenPath is led by Veerendra Bahadur Singh, a mining and steel sector professional with over 35 years of operational leadership across India and Africa. He has personally led a greenfield commercial coal block from allocation through to commissioning, with Ministry of Coal recognition for early operationalisation. That experience — across land, R&R, approvals, lease, infrastructure and production — is what every engagement draws on.
