About Advaita

Advaita was founded by Mr. Hari Kiran Vadlamani, who was earlier the co-founder of a successful power development company in India.

Advaita is aiming to become a preferred fuel supply partner for Indian power producers and has mandates for coal supply from several power companies setting up over 10 GW of imported coal-based power capacity in India.

Advaita’s strategy is to acquire and develop coal assets, either in its own right or in partnership with overseas mining companies or Indian Power Developers. Advaita believes that blending low rank coal from Indonesia with coal from Australia/Mozambique would be an ideal solution for Indian power projects.

Advaita holds various equity and exploration interests for coal in Indonesia, Australia and South Africa and a 15% strategic investment in Churchill Mining Plc , an AIMlisted company with a 2.73 billion tonnes JORC coal resource in East Kalimantan.

Dr Chris Ringrose, Managing Director of Cullen commented:

“Cullen welcomes this partnership with Advaita and looks forward to the initiation of Advaita’s exploration programmes to help unlock the coal potential of the vast Canning Basin. Our association with Advaita, a company with strategic investment links to coal exploration opportunities, coal resources and end user power stations in India will maximize Cullen’s chances of economic benefits from any coal discovery in the Canning. This has been another good example of Cullen’s on-going project generation attracting high quality partners.”
