Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd.’s Chairman-cum-MD PK Sinha laid the foundation stone for the First Mile Connectivity (FMC) project at Kaniha Area in Talcher Coalfields on 18 July 2021.
The project estimated to cost Rs 268.05 crore has been awarded to M/S Mecon Ltd. The FMS project for RLS of 10 MTPY capacity is likely to be commissioned by May 2023. RLS/SILO ensures quick transportation of coal to consumers through automated loading in moving railway rakes, by reducing the negative impact of dust in the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, MCL is planning to implement nine FMC projects to provide pollution free rake-load-system with an investment of Rs 3,600 crore.
