India's Coal Miner CCL Nurtures Green Growth

A Proud Past The Central Coalfields Limited (formerly National Coal Development Corporation Ltd) was established on 1st November 1975, as one of the five subsidiaries of Coal India Ltd. Ever since, its focus has been on increasing coal production and developing new coal resources in the outlying areas, besides introducing modern and scientific techniques of coal mining. For its best practices, during the "Coal Minister's Award 22-23" ceremony held in New Delhi, Central Coalfields Limited bagged awards in three distinct categories-the first prize in both the safety and quality categories and third place in the sustainability category.

Technology Integration

Technological innovation and digital transformation are the backbone of CCL's operational strategy. Today, the company has mechanized coal production, real-time monitoring, and automation to enhance productivity and resource efficiency. Digitalization initiatives, such as automated mining operations and intelligent transport systems, have reduced human intervention, leading to safer and more efficient mining activities. Such tech innovations position CCL as a progressive industry leader in India’s coal mining sector.
