Safety, productivity, and environmental protection may all be improved by new technology in mining. Coal mining operations will be supported by a digital infrastructure planned by the government.

The Indian government plans to expand digital infrastructure and bring new technology to support coal miners in the present and future. Dry fuel imports will be reduced as a result of this action. According to the government's draught coal technology road plan, "the purpose is to apply new technologies and establish digital infrastructure to support present and future ramp-up for the mines."

New technologies may be deployed quickly thanks to the inclusion of a multi-speed backbone information technology and infrastructure system.

"In order to build such a system, you'd need access to modern ecologies (like start-ups, established vendors and research institutes among others). As a result of the organization's technological revolution, a new culture will emerge "it read.

Import dependence must be reduced by CIL (Coal India Ltd) to achieve the one billion tonne objective, according to the company. CIL would then begin on an innovation journey.

Safety and productivity, environmental preservation, and opportunity for women are just a few of the ways new technology may affect mining operations.

The plan said that by incorporating technology into mining operations, safety may be enhanced via increased subterranean communication, automation, more advanced mineral and metal transportation, and emergency response procedures.

There are 344.02 billion metric tonnes of coal reserves in India. In the last four decades, India's commercial primary energy consumption has increased by 700%. Economic growth, population growth, and an overall rise in the standard of living are all contributing to an increase in energy use.
