The goal is to distribute Coal from mines to the end users (Power Plants etc). My Idea: 1. Designated Coal Distribution Yards/Hubs across the Country, identified based on their proximity to present and future Power Plants and railway tracks. 2. Transportation of Coal from mines to these Hubs through Railways. Bulk transportation during cheap periods will reduce costs. 3. End users can take Coal from Hubs in a need based manner. 4. Theft/Wastage to be reduced

We re fools transporting a low cost energy(coal) by high cost energy(disel in trucks n trains). God has blessed Bharat(India)with so many rivers and its distrubutories. We have 3 masquitiers for this work MR. Modi, MR.Gadkari and MR.Piyush. The govt and people do not know- Bihar govt has a 100% subsidy if the goods transported thru river. British times the goods use to travel from Kolkata to Allahabad and from Sangam now with canals it can go upto Delhi. Use it Sir, Gaurav Seksaria, Kolkata.

The most optimum way will be sea route and for land-locked states thru railways n inland water ways. All Coal Mines of Govt should be brought under CISF Monitoring like Airports, Seaports.

The most economical way of transporting coal is to transport it through pipelines as slurry in water. This is a standard practice for transport of solids (insoluble in water) over reasonable distances. This is most energy efficient, pilferage proof, labour saving and environment-friendly.

It is so simple, just make the coal distribution warehouse which would be near to the railway station or road and near to the power plant. Then and then the efficient coal will be transport to each station. You may also drop your coal carrying wagon at that station, so less amount of fuel required to railway engine as load is minimum and easy to carry while returning the railway from same station. advantages - 1.we are saving the fuel,time and transportation money. 2.efficient flow of coal.

We need a multi dimensional approach for evacuation of coal. Some steps that might be taken are: 1. Prioritization of Dedicated Freight Corridors (especially in eastern India) 2. Setting up of power plants nearer to the coal fields/ ports which reduces the transit time and cost (eg. Jindals plant near MCL which has a dedicated pipeline/ Mundra plant near Mundra port) 3. Alternate means of transportation like sea route for coastal plants. #coalofftake #MinistryofCoal #coaldistribution

As we are going to increase the production to a very high level and a huge amount of capital is involved, a separate agency shall be made to look into the coal theft and queries related security and shall be given some powers to take care of the miscreants. In this way the black-marketing/theft can be checked effectively. Also the cost involved for the agency will be much lower than the amount of coal saved and process streamlined, the illegal selling will also reduce crimes.

sir, i am from odisha form born seen how coal are wasted by offier in charge, to show the production and losses good quality stoke or rake coal are left behind to burn and cry by them that our so much quantiyt coal are burn. and no use . each mines should be left for its own finnancial burden and payment. just make a small policy that mines itself should be responsible for itz employee all payment.

The target of 100 crore tonne for 2020 is easily achievable if theft is eliminated, by complete implementation of Telematic solutions with all the range of sensors such as GPS,weight, rfid, fuel, ignition,cctv etc. Make a system intricately woven with latest sensors and be 100% devoid of human interference. It is in this cases that government should depend on technology than humans. It should cover all points from mine to shipping ports. Government should also have teeth to pursue perpetrators!!

Stop Coal Transportation & start generating power from numerous captive power plants in the proximity of Pit-Heads. This will save a lot on the cost of electricity production & it will be lesser than the Power Transmission Losses. CBM extraction shall be made compulsory for new blocks, so that “Clean Energy” of Methane is extracted before even starting the Open-Cast or Under-Ground projects itself.
