Mining land acquisition and R&R support.
Land and R&R are the most common reasons greenfield mining projects slip. We help project owners get possession, sort revenue records and complete family-wise R&R before they block commissioning.
Why land and R&R determine the project timeline
On most greenfield mining projects, the single biggest source of delay is not the mining plan or the environmental clearance — it is land possession and R&R. Title disputes, revenue record mismatches, partial acquisition, and unresolved family-wise R&R issues regularly stop projects that are otherwise ready to move.
GreenPath treats land and R&R as a parallel critical workstream from day one — not as an afterthought.
What we do
- Village-wise land status review — extent, title, encumbrance, classification.
- Revenue record reconciliation with district authorities.
- Land acquisition strategy — direct purchase, government acquisition, or hybrid approach.
- R&R framework alignment with applicable state policy.
- Family-wise eligibility mapping and entitlement tracking.
- R&R closure planning — financial assistance, alternative housing, livelihood support.
- District administration coordination throughout.
Who this is for
Greenfield coal block allottees, limestone and iron ore project owners, cement plant developers and any mineral project where land possession is on the critical path.
Common bottlenecks we resolve
- Revenue records not matching field reality.
- Patta and ownership disputes within affected villages.
- R&R policy interpretation differences between project, government and community.
- Partial possession blocking site mobilisation.
- R&R closure dragging beyond commissioning targets.
Reference experience
The Takli–Jena–Bellora coal block in Chandrapur involved land acquisition initiated across 11 villages, with the R&R issue resolved before commissioning. At the Benga Mine in Mozambique, R&R of 272 families was completed to enable mine expansion.

Frequently asked questions.
On day one of the engagement. Land and R&R timelines are long, and starting late is the most common reason commissioning slips.
Yes. We help project owners choose and sequence the right combination based on village, ownership pattern and R&R requirement.
Compensation is settled by the project owner with affected families and statutory authorities. GreenPath supports the process with structure, documentation and coordination.
A village-wise status tracker, a family-wise R&R closure plan, district-level coordination notes, and an integrated schedule linking possession to project milestones.
