Coal India Push for UG Mines

Coal India Limited (CIL) is planning to scale up production from its underground (UG) mines to 100 Million Tons (MT) by 2030 through a slew of mass production technologies alongside a revenue-sharing model with private entrepreneurs.

Till 17 September 2023, CIL, the largest coal-producing company in the world, had produced about 12 MT of coal from underground coal mines.

The thrust by the CIL on increasing output from UG mines comes at a time when 96% of its output was from open cast (OC) mines.

Along with eco-concerns, the pursuit of UG mining by CIL is also signalled by necessity, as at the current rate of production mineable coal reserves of existing OC mines will soon approach their ultimate pit level.

This Maharatna company contributes 80% of the country's coal production. It supplies more than 80% of its production to the power sector.

It is poised to benefit from the rare mineral race. For more, check out the Top 5 Indian Companies to Watch Out for in the Rare Mineral Race.
