Railways have Sufficient Rakes for Coal Loading
  
Coal loading on Indian Railways grew by 7.23 per cent in 2009-10 from all sources. The Indian Railways have also made sufficient rakes available for loading of coal from Coal India Limited sources in the month of April 2010 (Period 1st to 15th ).

As per projection of Coal India Limited, the loading requirement of rakes is to the tune of 190 rakes per day in the month of April 2010. Railways have been supplying rakes as per their demand. However, Coal India Limited has managed to load only approx. 160 rakes per day from 1st April – 15th April, 2010. This was primarily on account of less loading in certain coal fields.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways, Shri K.H. Muniyappa in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
