The modernisation of Kolkata Mint comprises the installation of Induction Melting Furnaces, highly efficient Continuous Casting Plant, 4 Hi Cold Rolling Mill, Strip Milling Machine, Annealing Furnaces, Blanking Presses, Picking & Polishing Lines, High Speed Coining Presses. All these machines have been suitably planned in the existing premises after removal of the obsolete machines as also making substantial production during the phasing of the old machines. All the auxiliary facilities including its electrics and water supply systems for these new machines are planned in new building within the same compound of the Mint.

Being rejuvenated it has been earnestly looking forward for a change for the last few years to have an equal footing with the changed modernised minting process available in other advanced countries and to meet growing coinage demand. Oil fired furnaces in the melting shop have been done away with and there appeared Induction Furnace. Scheuller coining presses, the most sophisticated press, have started functioning. The stainless blanking lines for blanking, counting and packing are making inroads in shop floor, computers to change the system of existing accounts and administrative work, close circuit TV to monitor the security.
