The government plans to implement new technologies and build digital infrastructure to support current and future coal mines operations, a move that would reduce the country’s dependency on imports. Technological advancements in coal mining are also making operations more productive.
“The objective is to implement new technologies and build digital infrastructure to support current and future ramp-up for the mines,” according to the government’s draft technology road map for the coal sector. This involves a strong, multi-speed backbone information technology and infrastructure system that allows rapid deployment of new technologies.
