Fly Ash



Union Minister of State (IC) for Power and New & Renewable Energy, launched a Web based monitoring System and a Fly Ash mobile application named ASH TRACK. These platforms will enable better management of the ash produced by thermal power plants by providing an interface between fly ash producers (Thermal Power Plants) and potential ash users such as – road contractors, cement plants etc.

Fly Ash
Fly ash is end product of combustion during process of power generation in the coal based thermal power plants. Fly ash is proven resource material for many applications of construction industries and is used in manufacturing of Portland Cement, road embankment construction, bricks/blocks/tiles manufacturing and low lying area development, etc.... 

We can download the Ash Track mobile app from Google Play Store for Android OS and from App Store for Apple IOS. The ASH TRACK Mobile App has following features

  1. For Consumers-
  1. App shows coal based power plants situated within the radius of 100 km and 300 km from a given location
  2. User can select power station from where he wants to take fly ash
  3. Ash availability, distance from user’s location, details of contact person will be displayed
  4. User can apply online for allocation of ash
  5. SMS will be sent to the applicant and the respective power plant instantly

  1. For Power Stations-
    1. App shows perspective users within the radius of 100 km and 300 km of power plants
    2. Power station can see the location of prospective ash users surrounding the power plant like – cement plants, NHAI, Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) projects, brick producers, etc.
    3. Power plants can contact the prospective users for supply of ash


  1. Ash Utilisation Data –
    1. App gives plant wise, utility wise and state wise ash utilization status in the country
    2. Shows details of real time ash generation and utilization. 
Fly Ash Management
In spite of increasing use of renewable energy, coal will remain the mainstay of Power sector in India. In fact the consumption of coal is going to increase as our economy grows. So, proper management of fly ash is important for not only the environment but for us also as the ash produced by the power plants occupies a lot of land space. At present, 63 per cent of the fly ash is being utilised so we should target for 100 per cent utilisation of the fly ash. For this, we will have to educate and aware people (specially road contractors and construction engineers).
