Coal India Ltd.

In the year 2022-23, Coal India (CIL) has planned to dispatch coal to the tune of 700 Million tonnes (MT), out of which 565 MT is earmarked for Power Sector. Out of the above target, CIL has dispatched 152.49 MT of coal to Power Sector in the first quarter of the current year achieving a growth of 19% over last year.

CIL has envisaged to enhance its production to reach the level of 1 Billion Tonnes (BT) coal by the year 2024-25 from its current production level of about 600 MT in order to meet the demand of coal indigenously and to eliminate non essential import of coal in the country.

CIL has already identified all resources required that will contribute to its 1 BT production plan and its related issues/enablers like requirement of EC/FC, land, evacuation constraints etc.

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.
