Iran war: SECL ready to meet India's coal demand amid energy disruptions

SECL, the second largest coal producing arm of Coal India Ltd, on Monday said it is prepared to meet the country's coal demand, including the power sector's requirement, amid the evolving global energy dynamics. The ongoing war in West Asia has disrupted global energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz, raising the costs of imported coal and LNG, which indirectly pressure India's coal and power sectors. South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) Chairman and Managing Director Harish Duhan told PTI that the company continues to maintain strong operational momentum. During the current financial year, the company has achieved around 165 million tonnes of coal production and over 169 million tonnes of coal dispatch up to mid-March, ensuring a steady supply to power plants and other consumers. The company supplies coal to major power generators like NTPC, Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RVUNL) and Madhya Pradesh Power Generating Company Limited (MPPGCL). The company is currently ...

Coal India aims to ensure power at fair price amid West Asia crisis

State-owned Coal India Ltd aims to ensure power at a "just price" to the country amid the escalating West Asia crisis that endangers global shipping lanes and imported coal costs, a senior official of the company said. Coal India Ltd (CIL) contributes to 80 per cent of total domestic coal production and 75 per cent of total coal-based generation. CIL contributes to 55 per cent of total power generation and meets 40 per cent of the primary commercial energy requirements of the country. "As a low-cost coal producer, CIL aims to ensure power at a just price to the country," the official said, adding that the country has adequate coal sufficiency to meet the anticipated spike in summer demand, with Coal India maintaining robust stockpiles at pitheads and power plants. CIL's pitheads have an inventory of 122 million tonnes (MT) of coal, while domestic coal-based plants are stocked to the tune of 53 MT, officials said. In-situ coal exposure at CIL's mines stands at around 60 MT, ready f

Coal India gears up to meet peak summer power demand, assures ample stocks

State-owned Coal India Limited (CIL) on Friday said it is geared up to meet a potential surge in summer coal demand, dismissing concerns of domestic fuel shortages as power consumption begins to rise. The company said a three-tier buffer across the supply chain - pithead stock, coal inventory at thermal power plants and ready-to-extract in-situ reserves - ensures comfortable availability ahead of the peak demand season. CIL's producing subsidiaries were holding 115 million tonnes (MT) of coal at pitheads as of February 26, 2026, a figure expected to rise further by the close of the fiscal year. Power plants typically require significantly higher quantities of coal during the summer months as electricity demand surges across the country. Rising temperatures lead to increased use of air conditioners, coolers, refrigerators and irrigation pumps, pushing peak power consumption to annual highs. Coal-based thermal power dominates India's electricity generation, accounting for roughly 70

Coal India arm SECL identifies 7 mine dumps for rare earth exploration

South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL), a subsidiary of Coal India Ltd, has identified seven mine dumps for potential extraction of rare earth elements, a top company official said. SECL's initiative aligns with the government's push to unlock value from coal mine waste. Trace rare earth elements (REEs) have been detected in overburden dumps across major coalfields, potentially reducing import dependence. SECL Chairman and Managing Director Harish Duhan said the tendering process for exploration has already begun, with plans to scientifically assess the dumps within the next year to pinpoint viable sites. "Under the guidance from the ministry of coal, we have identified seven mine dumps for rare earth elements extraction. We have started the tendering process and within a year or so we will identify which area, which mine dumps, overburden carry rare earth elements," Duhan told PTI. He added the company will conduct detailed scientific studies to determine the presence and economic ..

Coal India's Gevra block to become world's top mine by 2027: SECL CMD

Coal India's Gevra mine will become the world's top coal-producing mine next year by achieving the output of 63 million tonnes, surpassing the US mines, a top official said on Sunday.

Operational since 1981, the Gevra mine will produce 56 million tonnes this year. The mine has already received the environmental clearance to expand capacity to 70 million tonnes per annum. In an interview with PTI here, SECL CMD Harish Duhan said, "By next year, only Gevra mine will be producing 63 MT and will become the number one mine in the world."
