The focus of the Central Government for enhancing coal production to meet the growing economy has directly helped the State Govts in realisation of additional revenue, which in turn has infused capital expenditure in the coal producing regions thereby bringing in development, both in infrastructure and social sector.
It is also noteworthy that for augmenting evacuation infrastructure of coal, the Ministry of Railways and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways have invested very significant share of their CAPEX in coal producing regions for bringing in ease of logistics. Under PM GATI SHAKTI national master plan, Ministry of Coal has formulated National Coal Logistics plan under which Ministry of Railways has planned to build further 37 new Railway projects for meeting the future evacuation need of the coal sector. Coal India Limited has made an investment of over Rs 24000 Crores in creation of mechanized coal handling facility in coal producing regions, to bring in eco-friendly and efficient First Mile Connectivity (FMC) from mine pithead to Railway loading points.
With a view to augment the First Mile Railway connectivity, Ministry of Coal has formed 3 Joint Venture (JV) companies for Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Jharkhand with IRCON and State Governments to take up 5 Railway projects with an investment of Rs 11,655 crores, out of which 2 projects are commissioned and 3 projects are under different phases of implementation.
