Adani Group gets approval for Coal Mine Project in Australia

Adani Group has got its approvals from the Queensland state government, Australia for the Carmichael coal mine project in Australia.

Details:

• The plan was approved by the central government in April, 2019.
• The project aims to ensure energy security for India and create more jobs for Australia.

Background:

• Adani Group's mining project in Australia faced various controversies for almost nine years as the environmentalists warned it of the severe damage it might cause to the Great Barrier Reef.
• In August 2015, a federal court in Sydney revoked the environmental clearance given to the project.
• It cited the reason as the project threatened the Yakka Skink, Australia's native lizard and a species of ornamental snake found in the area.
• The Australian government later reversed the decision and gave the approval.
• But the government imposed more conditions relating to community issues and environmental standards.
