Coal India

Coal India is a state-owned coal mining company and the world's largest coal producer by volume. Headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal, the company operates across eight Indian states through a network of subsidiary companies. Coal India is listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India, with the Government of India retaining majority ownership. The company produces both thermal coal for power generation and coking coal for steel production, supplying the bulk of India's domestic coal requirements. Its operations encompass opencast and underground mining, with opencast methods accounting for the majority of output. Coal India's annual production exceeds 600-million tonnes, serving power utilities, steel plants and other industrial consumers. The company employs several hundred thousand workers, making it one of India's largest employers. Principal subsidiaries include Bharat Coking Coal, Eastern Coalfields, Central Coalfields, Western Coalfields, South Eastern Coalfields, Northern Coalfields, Mahanadi Coalfields and Central Mine Planning & Design Institute. Coal India was formed in 1975 through the nationalisation of private coal mines and has since consolidated its position as the dominant player in Indian coal production.
