Piyush Goyal holds discussions with top leadership of coal and power sector

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday held a meeting with the top leaders of the coal and power sector to ensure consolidation of the coal business of Railways and to suggest ways to further improve the joint operational productivity concerning coal freight.

According to the Ministry of Railways, coal accounts for almost 50 per cent of the freight of Railways.

Goyal said that Railways was making relentless efforts to boost freight loading and there was no scope of any slippages on any front.

The minister called for coordinated operations among Railways, coal and power entities to ensure maximum mutual growth of all the three sectors.
