CCL to Add 2 New Mines, Boosting Output by 12 MT

24 Jun 2025 CW Team

Coal India subsidiary Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL) is set to commission two new coal mines in the 2025–26 financial year, aiming to enhance its annual production capacity by 10 to 12 million tonnes. The initiative is part of the company’s broader plan to exceed 110 million tonnes of coal production this fiscal and reach 150 million tonnes by 2030.

“We have planned to open two new mines this year,” said Nilendu Kumar Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of CCL.

Production at the Kotre Basantpur block, a coking coal mine with a peak rated capacity of 5 million tonnes per annum, is expected to begin by October. Meanwhile, the Chandragupt open cast project, a non-coking coal mine with a capacity of 15 million tonnes per annum, is scheduled to commence operations by March 2026.

In FY25, CCL achieved a record production of 87.5 million tonnes, its highest ever. Singh noted that laying the groundwork now is essential for meeting the long-term target of 150 million tonnes by the end of the decade.
