Coal India starts pilot project to replace diesel with LNG in dumpers

State-owned CIL on Wednesday said it has begun the process of retrofitting LNG kits in its dumpers — big trucks engaged in transportation of coal, a move that will help the PSU to save around Rs 500 crore annually. “In a big push to reduce its carbon footprint, national miner Coal India NSE -1.77 % Ltd (CIL) has initiated the process of retrofitting Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) kits in its dumpers,” the company said in a statement.
