Coal India NSE 1.61 % on Monday entered a Memorandum of Understanding with Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), a wing under Ministry of Railways for data sharing to rationalise coal supply matrix through rail mode.
The access to data through Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) of Indian Railways would help Coal India monitor movement of coal laden rakes and coal despatch activity. The move would provide precise details of loading, weighment and unloading details along with turnaround time of rakes.
