1383 8. DIGITALISATION AND MINING 4.0 Digital transformation initiatives aligned with Mining 4.0 include Integrated Command and Control Centres, drone- and LiDAR-based surveys, digital logistics management, GPS-enabled fleet monitoring, ERP-integrated weighbridges, and proximity warning systems. These technologies enhance safety assurance, transparency, productivity, and governance across the value chain. Figure 7. Value Driven Digitalisation Practice. 9. ENERGY TRANSITION, CRITICAL MINERALS AND VISION 2030 Vision 2030 articulates a balanced transition pathway combining expansion of coal and critical mineral assets with efficiency enhancement of thermal power and accelerated renewable energy deployment. Large-scale solar installations on reclaimed mine land, nature-based carbon sinks through afforestation, and strategic participation in critical minerals position NLCIL to support decarbonisation while safeguarding energy security—an essential requirement for leading emerging economies.
