Operational Capacity Enhancement

The eight new coking coal washeries will deliver a combined processing capacity of 21.5 MT per year once operational by FY 2030. These facilities will complement Coal India's existing ten washeries that currently operate with 18.35 MT per year cumulative capacity.

Additionally, plans are underway to monetize three older, non-operative coking coal washeries under the National Monetization Policy.

This significant capital allocation underscores Coal India's commitment to strengthening its position in the coking coal processing sector and achieving import substitution while reducing forex outgo and increasing industrial competitiveness.
