Coal India Limited (CIL), one of the largest coal producers globally, is leading the charge in promoting indigenous manufacturing under the Government of India’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ missions. At a stakeholders meet on ‘Make in India’ initiatives for mining machinery in Chennai, Shri Amrit Lal Meena, Secretary of the Ministry of Coal, highlighted the pivotal role of the coal industry in driving this campaign.

The event in Chennai saw the participation of esteemed dignitaries, including Shri Amrit Lal Meena, Secretary of the Ministry of Coal. Stressing the crucial role of the coal industry in supporting indigenous manufacturing and self-sufficiency, Shri Meena emphasized the importance of promoting local production.

In a significant development, three new 190-tonne capacity dumpers manufactured in India for Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL) were virtually inaugurated. This initiative aligns with NCL’s commitment to modernizing its fleet and mechanizing mines. Equipped with modern safety features and designed for high efficiency with low fuel consumption, these dumpers will enhance NCL’s production and productivity.
