Adani's Australian coal mine project hits another hurdle, says report

He also claimed that all approvals were in place and that work would commence immediately after the rail finance was approved.

But according to the Australian socialist newspaper, the project is facing severe hurdles. This includes federal approval for Adani’s proposed water scheme, several legal challenges, logistical and infrastructural hurdles such as building a new airstrip, and railway line among others, the Green Left Weekly report said.

The present situation is part of the long list of challenges the group has faced since it proposed Carmichael coal mine in Australia’s Queensland state. Set to be the biggest mine in the country, the project has met with hurdles, both financial and from environmentalists.

Environment groups say the mine would contribute to global warming and damage the Great Barrier Reef and worsen global warming. In addition people have also raised doubts about whether Adani can fund the mine project.
