Moreover, the project will ensure eco-friendly transportation by minimizing road-based coal movement between the pit and rail sidings, thereby curbing carbon emissions.
This will not only benefit the environment but also enhance operational efficiency by significantly reducing rake loading time to less than an hour.

Aligning with the PM GatiShakti National Master Plan, these projects demonstrate commitment to providing multi-modal connectivity and enhancing coal infrastructure across the region. By generating local employment opportunities and ensuring an efficient energy supply, they play a pivotal role in the socio-economic development of the area.
Embracing the principles of environmental sustainability, the First Mile Connectivity (FMC) projects minimize reliance on coal transportation via roads, thus reducing traffic congestion, road accidents, and environmental impact.
