Coal India is reportedly contemplating a major diversification as it plans to produce oil and gas from its coal in a big way as growth from its core activity is declining. It also plans to enter commercial production of coal bed methane and expand presence in thermal & solar power generation.

The proposals are to be placed before the company board soon. While Coal India is yet to take up coal to oil and coal gasification, it has already tested the waters in thermal and solar power generation and coal bed methane.

Coal India is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
