CIL plans Rs 100 bn investment in conveyor belts

2019-08-19

According to reports, Coal India (CIL) and its large pithead consumers are planning to invest Rs 100 billion in conveyor belts to transport coal directly from mines, without using trucks. As per the current plan, customers will make the investment while CIL will provide land and facilities for the belts, which will be installed in mines that produce 4 million tonne of ore. This will drastically reduce the number of trucks and reduce diesel consumption and emissions, besides, reducing accidents and increasing the turnaround time for coal supply as conveyors can function throughout the day. It will also cut down theft as well as diversion of coal and help maintain quality.
