Union Minister Satish Chandra Dubey has laid the foundation stone for two pivotal coal handling projects in Jharkhand, together valued at Rs 732 crore, according to a government statement on Monday.
The Karo and Konar Coal Handling Plants, located in Bokaro and Kargali areas under Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL), aim to enhance coal logistics by providing a direct rail link for transporting coal to thermal power plants and other consumers.
The projects, with a combined annual capacity of 12 million tonnes, will significantly reduce road haulage times, speeding up coal dispatches and improving efficiency in India’s energy supply chain.
