The ministry has already invested Rs18,000 crore in 55 first-mile connectivity projects. Eight of the 55 projects have been completed, with a total capacity of 95.5 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), and the remaining will be completed by FY25.

The government is developing the National Coal Logistic Plan to ensure efficient and environmentally friendly coal evacuation, including first-mile connectivity through railway sidings near coal mines and strengthening the rail network in coalfields.

The coal ministry has set a target of 1.31 billion tonnes (BT) of coal production by FY25 and 1.5 BT by FY30. In this context, it is critical to developing coal transportation that is cost-effective, fast, and environmentally friendly.
