FMC के माध्यम से कोयला परिवहन हो रहा है और भी तेज, स्मार्ट और पर्यावरण अनुकूल।

अब खदानों से आधुनिक कन्वेयर सिस्टम के जरिए कोयला सीधे साइलो तक पहुंच रहा है, और अधिक दक्षता के साथ।

यह पहल आधुनिक, सुरक्षित और सतत खनन की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है।

Shri Vikram Dev Dutt, Secretary, Ministry of Coal, in his opening remarks at the Roadshow on Promotion of Surface Coal/Lignite Gasification Projects, underscored that India stands at a pivotal moment where the nation is leveraging its own resources and ingenuity to shape the next chapter of industrial transformation, strategic self-reliance, and national resilience.

Highlighting India’s vast coal and lignite reserves as a national endowment, he stated that coal gasification is key to utilising coal more intelligently while strengthening energy security, reducing strategic import dependence, and building domestic manufacturing capabilities across critical sectors such as fertilizers, chemicals, and steel.

Referring to the evolving geopolitics of global energy and commodity supply chains, he emphasised that India’s coal is not merely a commodity, but a strategic asset. He further remarked, “The opportunity is unprecedented. The need is urgent. The support is generous. And the time is now.”

He also thanked all participating stakeholders, industry leaders, and partners for their enthusiastic participation in the roadshow.

Meet Antimony — a critical mineral powering modern innovation behind the scenes.

From flame-retardant materials and advanced alloys to battery technologies and semiconductor applications, Antimony plays a vital role in strengthening industries, enhancing safety, and supporting the technologies that drive everyday life.

Small in size, yet significant in impact — this essential mineral continues to shape the foundation of modern industrial and technological progress.

[G Kishan Reddy @kishanreddybjp]

Under the leadership of Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi, India is accelerating towards energy security and industrial self-reliance through innovative utilisation of domestic coal resources. 🇮🇳

Coal Gasification can transform our vast coal reserves into syngas for fertilisers, methanol, hydrogen, and downstream manufacturing, strengthening the economy, boosting value addition, and advancing industrial self-reliance.

With a financial outlay of ₹37,500 crores, the initiative is expected to attract ₹2.5–3 lakh crore in investments and create around 50,000 jobs, backed by long-term policy support and indigenous technology development.

Beneath Manipur’s hills lies a geological story still unfolding.

From chromite, nickel and cobalt occurrences to limestone belts, jadeite zones, and other strategically important minerals, the state holds significant untapped mineral potential waiting to be explored responsibly and sustainably.

As India advances towards resource security and future-ready mineral development, Manipur is gradually emerging as an important frontier in the country’s mineral landscape.

Small pockets. Big strategic value.

[G Kishan Reddy @kishanreddybjp]

Further to the clarion call from Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi, let us come together as responsible citizens and contribute towards building a stronger, self-reliant India.

From adopting sustainable lifestyles to supporting Swadeshi products and conserving resources, every small step taken in the spirit of 'Nation First' can make a meaningful difference for the country’s future.
