The Government of India’s Ministry of Coal is the owner of the central public sector enterprise known as Coal India Limited (CIL). Its main office is in Kolkata. It is the world’s biggest government-owned coal producer. With little around 272,000 workers, it ranks as India’s sixth-largest employer.
About 82% of India’s total coal production is a result of PSUs. It increased its production of raw coal to 554.14 million tonnes in 2016–17 from 494.24 million tonnes in FY 2014–15, and in that same fiscal year, coal sales brought in revenues of 95,435 crores (US$12 billion).
CIL is one of the seven organisations with the Maharatna designation when the Indian government granted it in April 2011. CIL is a PSU owned by the Central Government of India as of October 14, 2015, and the Ministry of Coal oversees its activities. CIL was the eighth most valuable corporation in India as of October 14th, 2015, according to market capitalization, which was 2.11 lakh crore (about 26 billion US dollars).
Coal India Limited is eighth among the top 20 companies accountable for a third of all carbon emissions worldwide.
With the exception of 2020, when inventories will reach a record high due to artificially low power consumption because of lockdowns, Coal India’s production increased for the seventh consecutive month in October while supplies decreased for the first time in 20 months.

As sponge iron makers turned back due to concerns over the Russian blend, the proportion of South African thermal coal imports increased to the greatest levels in previous months, according to a report released this week by Coalmint.
However, the data indicated that for the fourth consecutive month, imports from Russia outpaced those from South Africa, while imports from Australia increased at the expense of shipments from Indonesia.
In order to enable quicker coal evacuation, the government is also taking steps to upgrade the rail link infrastructure for all significant mines under PM-GatiShakti. The Coal Ministry pledged to make sure that there was enough dry fuel available for the power sector.
This summer, many states had power interruptions because of a coal shortage.
The “power crisis,” according to the coal ministry, was actually caused by a dramatic fall in electricity production from various fuel sources, not by a lack of local coal.
Despite having greater liabilities than liquid assets, Coal India also has net cash of $407.4 billion. We were also delighted by the company’s 88% year-over-year improvement in EBIT. Therefore, the usage of debt by Coal India does not concern us. Without a doubt, the balance sheet provides the most useful information about debt. However, far from being the case, the balance sheet does not include all investment risk.
