Rs.2,070cr MGR system is technological marvel for improving coal transportation

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated to the nation Rs.6,350 crore rail sector projects at Raigarh, emphasising the importance of improving connectivity across the country.

The projects include Chhattisgarh East Rail Project Phase-I, 3rd rail line between Champa to Jamga, 3rd rail line between Pendra Road to Anuppur and MGR (Merry-Go-Round) system connecting Talaipalli Coal Mine to NTPC Lara Super Thermal Power Station (STPS).

Chhattisgarh East Rail Project Phase-I is being developed under the ambitious PM GatiShakti – National Master Plan for multi-modal connectivity and consists of a 124.8 km rail line from Kharsia to Dharamjaygarh including a spur line to Gare-Pelma and 3 feeder lines connecting Chhal, Baroud, Durgapur and other coal mines.

The Rs.3,055 crore rail line is equipped with electrified broad gauge level crossings and free part double line with passenger amenities. It will provide rail connectivity for coal transportation from Mand-Raigarh coalfields located in Raigarh, Chhattisgarh.

The Rs.516 crore third rail line between Pendra Road to Anuppur is 50 km long while a Rs.796 crore 98-km third line is between Champa and Jamga rail section.

The new rail lines will improve connectivity in the region and lead to an increase in both tourism and employment opportunities, said the Prime Minister during dedication ceremony on 14 Sept 2023.

The 65-km-long electrified MGR (Merry-Go-Round) System will deliver low-cost, high-grade coal from NTPC’s Talaipalli coal mine to 1600 MW NTPC Lara Super Thermal Power Station in Chhattisgarh. This will boost the generation of low-cost and reliable power from NTPC Lara, thus strengthening the energy security of the country.

The Rs.2,070 crore MGR system is a technological marvel for improving coal transportation from coal mines to power stations.

During the programme, the Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone of 50-bed ‘critical care blocks’ in 9 districts of Chattisgarh. The nine Critical Care Blocks will be built under Pradhan Mantri – Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PM-ABHIM) at Durg, Kondagaon, Rajnandgaon, Gariaband, Jashpur, Surajpur, Surguja, Bastar & Raigarh Districts, at a total cost of more than Rs.210 crores.
