Coal Minister Piyush Goyal launched the Saral Eindhan Vitaran Application on Tuesday. The mobile app and the online dashboard monitor the movement of coal from mines allocated to the power sector. Speaking at the event, Goyal said, “Non-power sector mines would also be added in this app.”

An official statement said that this app will provide a summary of quantity of coal dispatched along with grades for the given day, month, and the latest yearly updates. The app also provides information on rake movement including latest status of indents of rake, allotment and loading. This would help consumers making advance logistics planning.

Consumer specific data would be password protected on the SEVA Dashboard.

The app tracks coal dispatch to 118 power plants through fuel supply agreement (FSA) of around 500 MT. In addition, the dispatch through Special Forward E-Auction and Bridge Linkage from more than 200 dispatch points spread over eight states of the country are also monitored. Daily quantity involved is to the tune of 1.25 million tonnes involving the daily movement of around 195 coal trains besides dispatch through other captive modes of transport like MGR, road, belt, and ropeways among others.
