Which ministry launched the ASH TRACK Mobile App?

Question

The ASH TRACK app was launched by the Ministry of Power to better manage the fly ash produced by thermal power plants by providing an interface between fly ash producers and potential ash users (such as road contractors, cement factories, etc.).
The ASH TRACK app manages 200 million tons of fly ash by tracking the availability of coal-fired power plants and fly ash within 100 kilometers and 300 kilometers of a given location, as well as potential users within the same radius.
The App gives plant-wise, utility-wise and State-wise ash utilization status in the country.
The thermal plants regularly update fly ash generation, utilization and stock on the web portal and the app. This allows effective monitoring and reviewing for increasing ash utilization.
This also helps in protecting environment in terms of reduction in fugitive emissions, saving of precious top soil and conservation of land for sustainable development.
