Tata Steel installed an environment-friendly long pipe conveyor (LPC) at its open-cast coal mines at West Bokaro division in Ramgarh district of Jharkhand on Wednesday.
The facility, as part of endeavour to continually improve technology and drive productivity, was virtually inaugurated by Tata Steel chief executive officer and managing director T.V. Narendran.
Congratulating the entire team, Narendran said: “The implementation of best-in-class technologies and sustainable practices are critical success factors for mining operations. The LPC would improve the productivity and help in reducing the environmental footprint in coal logistics, significantly,”
In addition to the growth of technology in West Bokaro, the 4km LPC is an ambitious project of the company doing away with the 61-year-old mono cable and bi-cable ropeway system.
