The Indian Coal Ministry is working to address road congestion in coal producing regions by focusing on developing coastal shipping as an alternative transport option. An Inter-Ministerial Committee is creating a roadmap to transport 112 million tonnes of coal by 2030. The committee has recommended bolstering the Rail-Sea-Rail route, which will reduce congestion on existing routes and reduce carbon emissions. Coastal shipping has the potential to transform India's logistics sector and could result in significant cost savings for end users in Southern India.
