Coal India Limited (CIL), a ‘Maharatna’ company under the Ministry of Coal, Government of India, is based in Kolkata, West Bengal. Established in 1975, following the nationalisation of India's coal sector, CIL has eight subsidiaries and controls a significant portion of India's coal production. Starting with a modest output of 79 million tonnes, CIL has grown to become the world’s largest coal producer. As of April 1, 2024, it also stands among the biggest corporate employers, with a workforce of 2,28,861 people.
CIL plays a vital role in fulfilling India's energy requirements, particularly for power generation and industrial consumption. In recent years, Coal India has emphasised productivity enhancement, mechanisation, and green practices. As India is shifting towards cleaner energy, CIL is considering diversifying into solar power and cleaner coal technology.
Although coal will continue to play a key role in India's energy security in the near future, Coal India's strategic shift is designed to align with the country's changing energy needs.
