Indian Coal Industry

The Indian coal industry is a vital sector that supplies coal, primarily used for power generation, to meet the country’s energy needs. India has large coal reserves, making it one of the world's leading producers and consumers. The industry involves mining, transportation, and management of coal resources, with government-owned companies like Coal India Limited playing a major role. Despite its importance, the sector faces challenges such as environmental concerns, dependence on traditional methods, and competition from renewable energy sources. Efforts are ongoing to modernize mining techniques and reduce environmental impact, ensuring sustainable growth and energy security for India.
