The Jhanjra Area of Eastern Coalfields has achieved a significant milestone with the launch of a Gainwell standard height continuous miner (SHCM-3) – the first CM manufactured under the ‘Make in India’ program – at the Jhanjra colliery.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended last month by Eastern Coalfields executives, members of the JCC and representatives from INMOSSA.
Additionally, the dignitaries unveiled a new Conference Hall named ‘Prerana Kaksha’ and conducted a visit to the underground mines of the colliery including the longwall and continuous miner sections following a plantation initiative at the MIC unit.
The day concluded with a meeting focused on production, safety and related operational matters.
Eastern Coalfields is a subsidiary of Coal India.
