Coal India intends to produce sand using overburden rocks lying at various coal mines

28 Jan 2023 Evaluate

Coal India (CIL) is intending to produce sand using overburden rocks lying at its various coal mines and the operation of five such sand plants is likely to commence by next year. Under the 'overburden (OB) rocks-to-manufactured sand' initiative, the company facilitates processing of waste overburden at its open cast mines.

Out of the five proposed plants, Ballarpur Plant of Western Coalfields (WCL) is expected to commence sand production by May. Four plants -- one each in WCL, South Eastern Coalfields (SECL), Bharat Coking Coal (BCCL) and Central Coalfields (CCL)-- are under different stages of tendering process.

To fast-track the 'OB-to-sand' initiative, CIL has prepared a model bid document for installing more such plants across subsidiaries, in which terms and conditions have been modified for wider participation. The successful bidder will have the liberty to decide sale price and marketability of sand produced.

Coal India is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
