An MoU has also been signed for the use of railway siding named KDH Line No 2 for loading of washed coal to be produced at the coal preparation plant. The plant has been set up by Monnet Daniels Coal Washeries Private Limited on build-own-operate (BOO) basis for washing of raw coal supplied by the CCL to the PSEB powerhouses.
