In line with the goal of PM-Gati Shakti, the Ministry of Coal has undertaken 13 railway projects to develop multimodal connectivity and has identified missing infrastructure gaps for each project.
As many as four railway projects are successfully mapped in the NMP portal under High Impact projects which will be developed in Jharkhand and Odisha and will facilitate movement of coal with rapid logistics and wider connectivity for all the commercial miners.
Planned construction of new broad gauge rail lines in greenfield coal bearing areas, extending the rail links to newer loading points and doubling and tripling the rail lines in some cases will enhance rail capacity considerably.
