Every Tonne of Coal is Closely Monitored
Transparent Transportation System with Advanced Technology
HYDERABAD, JUNE 21, 2026: The Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has clarified that there is absolutely no truth in the reports appearing in certain media organizations alleging that Singareni coal has been stolen or has gone missing.
The company stated that all processes related to coal production, stock maintenance, transportation, and sales are being carried out with complete transparency under the supervision of advanced technological systems. SCCL also explained the robust coal transportation, security, and monitoring mechanisms currently in place across the organisation.
Senior officials of the Operations Department stated that:
“From the moment coal is produced in the mines until it reaches the end consumer, every stage is digitally recorded and monitored. Approximately 85% of the coal is transported through railways, while the remaining 15% is supplied through road transport. Coal allocations are made through an integrated SAP-based system. Details such as consumer, mine, quantity, and supply schedule are digitally recorded in advance. Information pertaining to every tonne of coal is continuously monitored through Coal Net, SAP, and other online systems.”
“Every vehicle transporting coal by road is weighed at electronic weighbridges. Vehicle movements are monitored in real time through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)-based boom barriers, GPS/GPRS tracking systems, and geo-fencing technology.”
They further noted that any deviation from designated routes is immediately detected and monitored through the system.
Senior officials of the Coal Transportation Department stated that:
“Loading and dispatch details of every railway wagon are also digitally recorded. CCTV surveillance, RFID systems, check-posts, flying squads, and security personnel maintain round-the-clock monitoring at mines, Coal Handling Plants (CHPs), weighbridges, railway sidings, stockyards, and entry-exit points.”
They added that surprise inspections and special security patrols are being conducted on a continuous basis.
The Singareni management emphasized that coal production and transportation are being carried out under a multi-layered security framework comprising RFID, GPS, CCTV surveillance, Coal Net, electronic weighbridges, Singareni Security personnel, flying squads, hologram challans, and task force monitoring systems.
Therefore, allegations that coal has been stolen or has gone missing are completely baseless and far removed from the facts, the management stated.
