Coal India Ltd.

Coal India (CIL) is planning to switch over to mechanised transportation of coal through piped conveyor belts in its large mines by 2023-24, replacing the existing road movement of the dry fuel. Piped conveyor belt transportation is a covered system for movement of coal and thus promotes environment safety and prevents possible coal pilferage.

The system is already operational in some of the mines of company. This will be implemented in 35 of company’s coal projects each having production capacity of four million tonne per annum (MTPA) and above.

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.
