In a bid to implement coal evacuation infrastructure projects in the state of Odisha, a joint venture of MCL, IRCON and IDCO- Mahanadi Coal Railway Limited is scouting for a chief executive officer. For the implementation of the project, one corridor has been identified initially. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 1,700 crore. For Talcher mines, this project will help in creating railway evacuation infrastructure. According to a PTI report, Talcher Coalfield feeds coal to power stations in as many as 10 states, including the state of Odisha. An official was quoted in the report saying that other projects will be identified for implementation later.
