CIL's sustained contribution to government revenue highlights the ongoing significance of coal in India's energy landscape, while also emphasising the need for sustainable and responsible coal mining practices.

Moving forward, CIL aims to further enhance its operational performance and contribute to the country's energy security and economic development goals.
