Coal India reveals ambitious plans to augment coal transport capacity by 2025, introducing new railway lines to streamline coal logistics. This strategic move is designed to meet the increasing demand for efficient coal transportation and enhance the overall efficiency of India's coal supply chain.

The expansion of coal transport capacity holds significance for the energy sector and industries dependent on coal as a primary energy source. The introduction of additional railway lines is expected to facilitate smoother movement of coal from production centres to various destinations, ensuring a more reliable and timely supply.

The introduction of new railway lines is poised to improve connectivity, reduce transit times, and contribute to the economic and operational efficiency of coal logistics.

As India continues to prioritise its energy infrastructure, Coal India's efforts to ramp up coal transport capacity demonstrate a commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the energy sector. The planned expansion reflects the company's strategic vision for enhancing coal logistics and ensuring a robust and reliable supply chain for this crucial energy resource.
