MCL to start operation in two new coal mines in Talcher
Sambalpur: Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd (CIL), is going to start operation in two of its new mines having total coal reserve of 35 million tonnes (MT) in Talcher coalfield area of Angul district. 'We are going to start operation of Subhadra coal mine having a reserve of 25 MT in Talcher area by the end of financial year 2025-26,' Chairman-cum- Managing Director (CMD) of MCL, Uday A Kaole, said during a media interaction here. Similarly, the Balabhadra coal mine, with a capacity of 10 MT, will be made operational by the end of financial year 2029-30, he said. At present, MCL is operating 18 coal mines in Angul, Sundargarh and Jharsuguda districts of which three are underground mines and the remaining 15 are open-cast mines. Among the coal mines, the public sector company has seven operational mines in Angul district which include Jagannath, Bhubaneswari, Bharatpur, Hingula, Lingaraj, Kaniha and Talcher (UG). Now, the company is going to start exploration from Subhadra and Balabhadra mines, he said. To maintain transparency in its mining activities, MCL has installed CCTVs in 98 per cent of its operational areas while the remaining 2 per cent will be done soon, the CMD said, adding, 'We are also using artificial intelligence (AI) for real-time tracking of coal transportation vehicles which are GPS enabled.' He further said MCL has a reserve of about 35 MT of coal to ensure that there will be no crisis of coal for power generation. The company has produced 225 MT of coal during 2024-25 with a growth of 9 per cent compared to its previous financial year. The total coal dispatch was 210 MT, which also registered a growth of 6 per cent, he said. The CMD said '98 per cent of our total coal production is being done through eco-friendly surface mines, which is highest in the country.' The coal-producing company has targeted to achieve net zero carbon emission by FY 29. It has planned to set up several renewable energy projects including solar, wind and pumped storage power plant projects in different parts of the State with an estimated investment of Rs 17,900 crore, another official of the company said. Further, the company has set a target to produce 239 million tonnes of coal in FY26, which is expected to reach 300 MT by the fiscal 2029-30, he said.

Govt plans to add 2,536 new buses into RTC fleet in state
As many as 2,536 additional buses would be inducted into the existing fleet of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation ( APSRTC ) to implement the free bus travel scheme for women. Officials of the state-run corporation submitted the estimates on the scheme to chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday. APSRTC has not included new buses in its fleet for a long time, and there will be an additional requirement of buses as the passenger rush is likely to increase once the scheme is implemented. Officials estimate that an amount of ₹996 crore is required to induct new buses. They also explained the need to improve other facilities like drinking water, sanitation, bus information systems, and other amenities at bus stations. In a review meeting on the free bus scheme with the CM, officials said they estimate the number of journeys by women is likely to increase by about 78% after the scheme is rolled out. The total number of trips by women is likely to increase from 49.91 crore to 88.90 crore trips annually. Naidu suggested officials to go for new buses or take buses on rental basis if required. He said all new buses to be inducted into APSRTC fleet henceforth should be electric-AC buses. He also suggested exploring the possibility of converting existing diesel buses into electric ones. He also wanted GPS installation in every bus to be made mandatory, while stressing on the cleanliness of bus stations and buses. The chief minister made it clear that the scheme will be rolled out from Aug 15 despite financial difficulties. 'In view of the challenges being faced by the state, public money should be utilised efficiently,' he said, and suggested looking for additional revenue sources focusing on cost reduction. Even in the procurement of new buses, he asked officials to explore all options to ease the financial burden on the govt. He suggested officials to study the best implementation models, explore options to generate own power for EV buses, hand over maintenance to private players, and explore battery swapping options.
