Coal Ministry Boosts Efforts to Ramp Up Production, Targets Operational Mines

The Coal Ministry is intensifying efforts to ramp up coal production and enhance the efficiency of operational mines across India. This strategic initiative aims to meet the growing energy demands of the nation and reduce reliance on coal imports, ensuring energy security and supporting industrial growth. The ministry has implemented a series of measures to accelerate production, including optimising mining operations, deploying advanced technologies, and enhancing infrastructure. By focusing on operational mines, the ministry aims to increase output and improve the overall productivity of the coal sector. A key component of this initiative is the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as automated drilling, real-time monitoring systems, and advanced geological survey methods. These technologies are expected to streamline mining processes, reduce operational costs, and enhance safety standards in coal mines. Additionally, the Coal Ministry is working closely with state governments and private sector stakeholders to identify and resolve bottlenecks in the mining process. This collaborative approach aims to ensure the smooth execution of mining activities and address any logistical challenges that may arise. The ministry's efforts are also aligned with sustainable mining practices, emphasising environmental conservation and responsible resource management. By promoting eco-friendly mining techniques and implementing stringent regulations, the Coal Ministry aims to minimise the environmental impact of coal production.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..
