Both forms of energy are vital for the growth of the economy and go a long way in improving the competency of the country at global level. Around the world, the ever-growing hunger for energy resulted in the unprecedented consumption of natural resources. As per the report “Global Energy Statistics Yearbook 2015” China was the highest energy-consuming nation in the world with around 3034 million tons of oil equivalent (MT) in 2014. It was followed by United States (2224 MT) and India (872 MT). Post-independence, India has made a rapid progress in every sphere of life. The progress in economic and commercial sector is even more drastic when the Indian Government made radical changes in economic policies and made economy more market-oriented and expanded the role of private and foreign investment. India’s substantial and sustained economic growth in last two decades has placed enormous demand on its energy resources. Consequently, the energy consumption has seen an impressive growth in last few years. Incidentally, India’s energy security is very much linked to the movement of these bulk commodities like coal and crude and this calls for a need to take stock of existing demand and supply, market trends, modes of transportation and their cost efficiencies. Apart from bulk cargo, movement of project cargo is gaining prominence across the country. With power sector sanctioning power plants to meet the growing power demand, the cargo movement industry is all set to experience a boom period in the coming years. Coal remains the main source of energy in the country. The country is going full steam ahead in establishing more and more coal-fired power plants across the country, in a bid to meet its ever-growing demand for electric power. The demand for coal in coming future will only see an upward trend in growth trajectory. The ever-increasing demand of Coal shall require an effective transportation system. Apart from coal, other bulk commodities like Crude Oil, Iron Ore, Fertilizers, Cement, Food grains etc. are other types of bulk cargo needs and efficient and effective transportation system. As Bulk cargo is zoned material and due to this characteristics transport in bulk state. For this reason they require a dedicated vehicle for the transport and cargo types. Detailed Project Report of Dharamjaigarh (SECL) Date: JANUARY 2019 Doc. No.: I-527_IRCON_SECL_DPR_DHARMJAIGARH Page 3 of 62 The bulk cargo include: Larger bulk cargo (coal, ore and stone boulders) Minor bulk cargo (coal dust, coke, sulfur, cement, salt, sugar, sand, gravel, etc.) Cereals (wheat, barley, rye, corn, soy, flour) Movement of these types of bulk cargoes requires dedicated infrastructure for smooth flow and connectivity. Rolling stock consists of tanks for bulk cargo, dump, and trucks for transportation of bulk goods vehicles and trailers and tippers. For rail transportation wagons are used for transportation of bulk cargo so that it covered the entire organization of railway transportation. Movement of Bulk Cargo The surge in economic growth witnessed in recent years in India has strained the capacity of its transport system as well as energy supply, particularly electric power. Movement of bulk commodities is a major role of India’s transportation system. Traditionally rail is the main mode of transportation for the movement of bulk cargo. While road is used to transport cargo for shorter distances, rail is used for longer distances. Movement of coal, iron ore, cement, fertilizers etc. can be easily transported in big quantities through rail. But issues like shortage of rail wagons, lack of sufficient number of railheads at mines, and improper connectivity are some issues that mine owners, importers and exporters face today. While there are more than 60,000 rail wagons available to handle various types of bulk cargo, at least another 10,000 wagons are necessary to meet the immediate demand. Inability of railways to provide the same and improper logistics planning and scheduling on part of the miners, importers and exporters are adding to the problems. More specifically to mention about Coal bulk cargo the reserves are in three states – Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh – which together have about 70% of the country’s reserves. Odisha and Chhattisgarh have significant Iron ore deposits as well. Significant coal is also present in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal and a small amount in Bihar. Thus domestic coal needs to be moved from the east to the rest of the country. Coal accounts for almost half the freight volume on Indian Railways, which is a major supplier of transport services to the electric power and steel industries. Most of India’s coal production needs to be transported long distances to get to its final destination, which has placed considerable strain on the infrastructure network. In 2013–14, around 55% of CIL’s production was transported by rail, 24% by road, 19% by merry-go-round and 2% by other means (CIL 2014b). Detailed Project Report of Dharamjaigarh (SECL) Date: JANUARY 2019 Doc. No.: I-527_IRCON_SECL_DPR_DHARMJAIGARH Page 4 of 62 India’s coal transportation systems have been challenged by the rapid increase in domestic demand. A shortage of rail infrastructure has stalled the movement of coal from domestic mines to power plants, and has contributed to the increased reliance on imports. While India’s coal imports have increased rapidly over the past five years, India’s capacity to continue to import large volumes of coal has also been affected by infrastructure limitations. During 2014, imports were affected by port congestion, particularly on the east coast; a shortage of rail wagons forced some companies to transport coal by road, which costs 30–40% more; and inadequate logistics to move coal from port to utilities. Hence, the transportation infrastructure challenge, particularly rail, is likely to be exacerbated as India’s coal consumption grows. Growth in imports into coastal locations may relieve some of this burden. However, the demand for rail freight can only increase sharply as other modes of coal transportation have little potential for expansion. Therefore, a need arises to take the stock of the situation in terms of the demand growth of these types of bulk cargo and the necessary transportation infrastructure for their movement. OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY The main object of the project is to study and design the rail corridor up to Dharamjaigarh Road with a spur from Gharghoda Junction to Donga Mauha from nearest feasible serving station in Bilaspur division of SEC Railway located between Bilaspur and Raigarh. The approximate distance is about 74 km from Kharsia to Dharamjaigarh from SECR Mainline and 29 km from Proposed Gharghoda Junction on Kharsia - Dharamjaigarh Line to Donga Mauha. To fulfil the objective, following serving stations on BSP-HWH Main line have been studied for feasible take off points from East Corridor Railway line: a) Chhal Station at Chainage point 16548.021 (Take off point between Km.16 & Km. 17) b) Korichhapar Station at Chainage point 42569.651 (Take off point between Km. 42 & Km. 43) c) Dharamjaigarh Station at Chainage point 73519.446 (Take off point between Km.73 & Km. 74) Government of Chhattisgarh (GoCG) is keen to develop Rail infrastructure for facilitating passengers and freight traffic in the Northern part of Chhattisgarh. As per the committee’s report and in line with the recommendations of Chhattisgarh Detailed Project Report of Dharamjaigarh (SECL) Date: JANUARY 2019 Doc. No.: I-527_IRCON_SECL_DPR_DHARMJAIGARH Page 5 of 62 Integrated Infrastructure Development Committee (CIIDC), three corridors were identified for the development of rail infrastructure. a) Corridor-I, East corridor: Kharsia - Chhal - Gharghoda – Korichhapar-Dharamjaigarh up to Korba with a spur from Gharghoda to Donga Mauha to connect mines of Gare- Pelma block, approximately 180km in length. b) Corridor-II, North Corridor: Surajpur-Parsa-Katghora-Korba, approximately -150km in length. c) Corridor-III, East-west Corridor: Gevra Road to Pendra Road via Dipka, - Katghora, Sindurgarh, Pasan, approximately 122 km in length. Thus, the implementation of developing Corridor-I and Corridor-III would be taken up by JVCs. The names of the JVCs are proposed as "Chhattisgarh East Rail Ltd" for Corridor- I and "Chhattisgarh East-West Rail Ltd" for Corridor-III.
