From the graph shown in figure 8, it can be inferred that the benefits of coal washing, up to 34% ash in output coal, offsets the cost of washing at distance of 600 and 700 km for G13 and G12 grade and around 1500 km for G-11. The difference observed in washing upto 34% and 32% is the distance for G11.
