| Mechanization OF Underground Coal Mines |
| The Government has advised coal companies for adopting state of the art technologies for improving coal production, productivity and safety in underground mines. Coal India Ltd., (CIL) and Singareni Collieries Co. Ltd. (SCCL) have taken number of initiatives to adopt modern technologies/equipments. In CIL, out of the 271 underground mines, 227 mines are at various stage of modernization and adoption of modern technology. Remaining mines which are not yet mechanized are in the process of mechanization. Singareni Collieries Company Ltd. (SCCL) is also operating 36 underground mines. Out of these, semi mechanization (SDL and LHD) and mechanization (Long Wall/Blasting gallery/Continuous Miner/Short wall) has been introduced in 34 mines. In the remaining 2 mines Semi-mechanization / mechanization could not be introduced, because of difficult geological conditions, viz., steepness (gradient 1 in 3). |
