The Association of Power Producers (APP) has called for an upgrade of the coal-handling infrastructure in India after a recent study done by it revealed that a lot was needed to be done.
APP has called for the development of coal storage facilities on port premises, coastal-based coal preparation hubs, augmentation of rail routes on which coal is transported as well as the establishment of a specialised logistics agency to facilitate efficient sourcing and transportation of coal to various plants.
