As part of High Impact projects, four railway projects have been already mapped in the NMP portal.

These projects, which will be developed in the states of Jharkhand and Odisha, will help move coal with rapid logistics and broader connectivity for all the commercial miners.

With the planned construction of new broad gauge rail lines in Greenfield coal-bearing areas, the ministry is also focusing on gradually moving away from road movement of coal in the country.

It also plans to expand the rail links to newer loading points, as well as double and triple the rail lines in some cases.
