According to an exchange filing from the company, the planned amalgamation will allow MEL to operate the Dhirauli Coal Mine as a captive coal mine and enhance its fuel security.

SMRPL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Limited and engaged in the business of mining of coal, minerals and ores and other allied activities, the filing said. MEL is engaged in the business of generation and sale of power.
