RITES Ltd., a leading transport infrastructure consultancy, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd., to form a strategic partnership centred on mining and renewable energy initiatives.

The partnership aims to jointly identify and pursue consultancy assignments in India and abroad, particularly across sectors such as mining, power, renewable energy, and related infrastructure.

RITES is expected to support CMPDI in securing both domestic and international consultancy work by leveraging its extensive experience in logistics and evacuation infrastructure.

This agreement is set to open up new business opportunities for both organisations and aligns with India’s broader sustainable development goals, particularly in accelerating the shift towards cleaner, more efficient energy systems.
