1.3.3 Industry Structure and Development
The global economic environment remains uncertain, shaped by geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and divergent growth and inflation outcomes across
major economies. While global activity has shown resilience in the near term, underlying vulnerabilities persist, including elevated fiscal pressures, fragmented supply chains, and an increased reliance on economic policy instruments for strategic purposes.
As per International Monetary Fund (IMF), global growth is projected to be 3.1 percent in 2026 and 3.2 percent in 2027, slower than its recent pace of about 3.4 percent in 2024-25. Indian economy has maintained strong growth momentum in FY26 with GDP growth estimated at 7.4 per cent, with growth largely driven by domestic demand. The outlook for FY27 is shaped by stable macroeconomic fundamentals, sustained policy support, and broad-based sectoral performance alongside evolving external conditions. Indias potential growth is estimated at around 7 per cent for FY27 positioning the economy on a path of steady expansion amid a challenging global environment.
Mining in India is a major economic activity which contributes significantly to the economy of the country. The coal mining and electricity generation are two of the eight core industries and together contribute about 12% to Indias Index of Industrial Production (IIP) affirming their importance to the economy. Further, Indias logistics industry, sponge iron industry, aluminum industry among several others depend on Indias domestic coal industry.
Coal mining often gives stimulus to the local economy, both directly and indirectly, through creation of jobs, by inducing improvement in local infrastructure - such as road network and water supply, and allowing the local population to have better access to health and education services. Indias coal sector continues to play a vital role in fueling the nations energy needs while simultaneously
driving significant employment growth. The coal sectors success is attributed to the tireless efforts of Coal Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), private players, and the dedicated workforce of around 5 lakh mine workers across more than 370 coal mines. Hence, the importance of the coal sector to India, not just in terms of an energy source for the country, but also for the socio-economic role it plays, cannot be denied.
India is the second largest producer of coal and has the 5th largest coal reserves globally. During the year 2025-26, domestic coal production reached to a level of 1041 million tonne. CIL was the major contributor with a production of about 768 million tonne which is expected to increase to a level of 1000 million tonne, at the earliest, by 2028-29. Despite the significant increase in domestic production during the last five years, the country is consistently importing 200+ MT coal annually to meet the coal demand. Coal demand is projected to peak in the decade 2030-2040 with National coal production reaching to a level of 1.50 billion tonne by 2035.
Coal will remain as the major contributor towards the power generation in India at least for the next decade or two. Indias dependence on coal remains significant as it contributes 55% to the national energy mix and fuelling over 74% of total power generation. Though investments have been increasing for non-renewable sector, the contributory requirements in absolute terms still remain higher for coal. In order to meet the objective of Aatmanirbhar Bharat, India has to strive to meet the demand of coal through its own resources. In addition, on account of Panchamrit commitments at the COP26, there is likely a gradual transition in the countrys energy landscape. In this evolving policy environment, efforts have
to be made to enhance the coal production as well as to diversify into alternative and value-added end uses of coal. This transition presents an opportunity for CMPDIL to support for enhanced coal production and to develop alternate use of coal, expand expertise in renewable energy sector and provide consultancy to coal companies to diversify their businesses to be future ready.
The government has set ambitious renewable energy goals that include the development of 60% of nations installed energy capacity from renewables by 2035. Though there is thrust on renewables, coal will continue to have fair share in Indias energy mix for energy security of the country and CMPDIL is ready to provide technical assistance for alternate sustainable coal usage, low carbon & sustainable coal mining and renewable energy.
The total estimated basinal area of Gondwana Coalfields (44 nos.) and Tertiary Coalfields (18 nos.) is assessed to be about 67,159 sq km, while the total prognosticated coal bearing area of the country stood at about 32,761 sq km as on 01.04.2025. Out of the total prognosticated coal bearing area, total regional exploration area measured was about 21,006 sq km and about 11,755 sq km area is left-out for regional exploration. The total basinal area of Tertiary Coalfields was estimated to be about 1,367 sq km, out of which, a total of about 853 sq km was assessed to be prognosticated coal bearing area.
As per the directive of the Government, CMPDIL is undertaking Regional and Detailed Exploration activities with a strong focus on 2D/3D Seismic Surveys across the country. The objective is to identify and delineate the most promising coal-bearing properties for accelerated coal exploitation. This initiative aims to
expedite the availability of coal blocks for prospective bidders, thereby maximizing the utilization of the nations coal resources.
Coal blocks are being identified for auction based on a set of well-defined criteria to ensure faster and sustainable resource development. Mining Lease (ML) is proposed for blocks explored in G1 level, while Prospecting License-cum- Mining Lease (PL-cum-ML) is considered for regionally explored blocks (G2 and G3 levels). Environmental considerations such as overlap with Eco-Sensitive Zones (ESZ), forest cover, significant surface constraints such as habitation, infrastructure, and other restrictions are taken into consideration before being put into auction, ensuring smoother operational readiness for successful bidders.
The target of 12.0 lakh metre of drilling along with data acquisition through 2D/3D Seismic Survey of 475 Line km have been proposed for 2026-27 with an aim to have thrust on 2D/3D seismic surveys in exploration in combination with the physical drilling with reduced borehole density.
The exploration and planning exercises have been completed for the 1 Bt coal production target of CIL but, the technical support would be required by CIL from CMPDIL on continual basis for sustenance and further enhancement of the production in future. This will be true also for the infrastructural facilities, including CHPs, washeries, etc. Additionally, CMPDILs expert services are sought by other coal producers in public and private sectors as well. CMPDIL rendered consultancy services for other than CIL companies and various Commercial Coal Block Owners. Stride of coal companies, mainly of CIL, towards meeting the coal demand from indigenous supply will have a spurt
in CMPDILs services in coming years. CMPDIL is actively pursuing diversification into coal-based alternative energy resources such as Coal Bed Methane and Underground Coal Gasification, which are expected to create new business opportunities and strengthen its role in the evolving energy landscape. The organization has established a well- equipped Clean Energy Laboratory and has been generating CBM-specific data since the 10th Five Year Plan and shale gas-specific data since the 12th Five Year Plan under Promotional, Regional and Detailed Exploration programmes, thereby developing a comprehensive data bank for the Ministry of Coal.
CMPDIL continues to act as the Principal Implementing Agency (PIA) for execution of CBM projects in CIL command areas, including ECL, BCCL and SECL. CMPDIL also possesses significant technical expertise to offer consultancy services in CBM development, including data generation, coal characterization, Gas Initially-in-Place (GIIP) estimation, reservoir simulation, and techno-economic feasibility studies. The organization is extending such specialized services to external clients and is actively expanding its customer base. Further, Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) is being developed as a strategic focus area. Additionally, emerging area of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in coal sector is also presenting additional opportunities for CMPDIL which will increase further in coming years.
Though the coal fuel is expected to retain its primacy in India and remain the only realistic option for providing affordable and reliable source of energy for the local population at least in foreseeable furute, the Governments commitment to exploit the renewable sources of energy in a big way, parallely, is likely to impact the future
growth of the coal sector. Revised NDC targets for the year 2031-35 include (i) 60 per cent of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2035, (ii) reduction of the carbon intensity of the economy by 47 per cent by 2035, and (iii) to create an additional carbon sink of 3.5 to 4 billion tonne of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2035. Moreover, requirement of compliances under environment/forest clearances, pressure from the Green lobbyists as well as efforts required in land acquisition for coal mining are going to be tougher day-by-day. CMPDIL will have to provide technical assistance to coal companies for low carbon, environmentally acceptable and socially inclusive mine planning for the coal sector.
Exploration has been a key driver of revenue for CMPDIL. To ensure sustained growth and enhance future earnings, CMPDIL is actively pursuing a diversification strategy that extends beyond coal. This approach involves expanding our exploration activities into non-coal sectors while also broadening our range of service offerings - most notably, the in-house execution of 2D seismic surveys. These initiatives aim to strengthen both our top and bottom lines. As part of this strategic shift, and with support from NMEDT funding, CMPDIL has successfully completed three bauxite exploration projects in Jharkhand. In addition, two projects on base metal exploration (copper, lead and zinc) has been completed. One more exploration projects for magnetite is currently under progress. Further, 2 blocks for exploration of Graphite have also been granted by Directorate of Geology, Odisha for implementation through NMEDT funding. CMPDIL has actively participated in the first tranche of auction for exploration license by Govt. of India and successfully
acquired one REE exploration license block - Nawatala Devigarh in the state of Rajasthan. CMPDIL also acted as a transactional advisor for CIL in the acquisition of the Ontillu Chandragiri REE block in Andhra Pradesh in the 1st tranche of auction.
Also, more efforts are being made to increase revenue from other fast growing services like Geomatics and Environmental Services. These services present significant growth opportunities and allow us to provide comprehensive solutions to our clients. Furthermore, CMPDIL is actively prioritizing specialized hydrogeological services to capitalize on emerging market trends and meet the evolving needs of our customers. Considering the above and to infuse dynamism in business domain of CMPDIL, it will be realistic to ensure enhancement in the exploration capacity through further productivity improvement and particularly, through wider use of 2D/3D Seismic Survey and other geo-physical methods, upgradation and modernization of existing facilities and infrastructure wherever required, rationalizing manpower utilization and executive manpower induction, diversification in newer areas of mineral, mining and allied engineering sectors other than coal, enhancing quantum of outside jobs (non-CIL) in value terms, establishing effective monitoring system in core areas including drilling and inventory control through computerization and networking, establishing technology for development of alternative sources of coal based energy, etc.

CMPDIL has shown a consistent upward trend in drilling activities and productivity over the years. Modernization of departmental drills, induction of new higher capacity mechanical and hydrostatic drills, introduction of high-performance bits resulting in higher productivity, adopting latest mud technology, effective arrangement of drilling accessories and manpower had been the key to augment the drilling capacity of CMPDIL.
In June 2023, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved the continuation of Central Sector Schemes for exploration in coal and lignite during the 15th Finance Commission cycle, i.e., up to 2025-26. Consequent upon this approval, CMPDIL achieved approximately 11.50 lakh metres of drilling in 2025-26, registering a growth of about 14% over the previous year. Considering the urgency of carrying out exploration in coal further, continuation of the funding under Central Sector Scheme of Ministry of Coal would be required.
In FY 2025-26, a total of 31 Geological Reports (GR) have been prepared. About
11.8 billion tonnes of coal resources have been estimated in the Measured (Proved) category through Detailed Exploration covering an area of about 306 sq km through 24 Geological Reports. In addition to this, about 3.7 billion tonnes of new coal resources (in Indicated and Inferred categories) are estimated through
Regional (Promotional) Exploration covering an area of about 109 sq km through 7 Geological Reports.
Seismic survey activities saw significant growth in 2025-26. CMPDIL carried out about 455.23 line km of 2D/3D seismic surveys in 2025-26, resulting in an 4% year-on-year growth which included about 345.59 line km of 2D surveys using departmental resources, reflecting a 15% increase compared to the previous year. A target of 12.0 lakh meter of drilling along with data acquisition through 2D/3D Seismic Survey of 475 Line km have been proposed for FY 2026-27.
Adding on to it, a total of 317 reports including 136 Ground Water Modeling (GWM) reports and 136 Comprehensive Hydrogeological Reports, were prepared during the year. Number of Ground Water Modelling (GWM) reports prepared increased significantly from 90 Reports in the FY 2024-25 to 136 reports in FY 2025-26. This substantial rise in in-house reporting has effectively reduced the reliance on outsourcing for GWM report preparation.
During the year under review, a total of 30 Project Reports (PRs) have been prepared which includes 19 PRs for Opencast Projects and 11 PRs for Underground Projects. One opencast PR has been prepared for Rabodih OCP (2.5 Mty), a Non-CIL mine, of M/s Twenty First Century Mining Pvt. Ltd.

8.0 CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES
Constr The Civil Engineering Department of CMPDIL, serves as the principal technical consultancy arm of Coal India Limited for civil, structural, architectural, and related engineering disciplines. During the financial year 2025-26, the Department continued to discharge this mandate with vigour, executing a diverse portfolio of assignments spanning project management consultancy, detailed design, drawing scrutiny, environmental and hydrological studies, tender preparation, and structural assessments. Cumulatively, these activities supported capital investment across the full breadth of CILs subsidiary operations from infrastructure development and environmental compliance to
renewable energy integration and industrial capacity building.
The pages that follow present a consolidated narrative account of the Departments principal activities during the year, organised by functional category. Together, they reflect an organisation of demonstrated technical depth, sustained operational output, and growing scope equipped to support Coal Indias development objectives in an increasingly complex engineering and regulatory environment.
8.1 Project Management Consultancy
Total Assignments Executed 28 Assignments
During the year under review, the Civil Engineering Department undertook a substantial portfolio of project management consultancy assignments, underscoring its central role as a technical resource for Coal India Limited and its subsidiary companies. The thrust of this activity was the comprehensive transformation of residential and social infrastructure in coal-field areas, encompassing architectural design, supervision, and quality control for facelifting of employee colonies, service buildings, and support facilities across multiple operational areas. The Department guided these projects from conceptualisation through to execution oversight, ensuring adherence to design intent, construction standards, and budgetary discipline.
Beyond colony development, the Department managed the planning and execution of institutional facilities including hostels, training centres, and office complexes, contributing to the human resource and administrative infrastructure of the organisation. Significant consultancy services were also directed towards the development of eco-parks, recreational water parks,
and green public spaces initiatives that reflect CILs commitment to the social and environmental well-being of its workforce and host communities.
In the domain of environmental infrastructure, the Department provided project management support for the installation of sewage treatment plants using advanced Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) technology, enabling responsible treatment and disposal of wastewater from residential colonies. Guest houses, conference facilities, and vocational training centres across several subsidiaries were also taken up, reflecting the breadth and versatility of the Departments consultancy capability.
8.2 Design & Drawing Scrutiny Solar Projects
In consonance with Coal Indias accelerating renewable energy agenda, this Department carried out technical scrutiny and vetting of design drawings for a series of solar photovoltaic power projects during the year. The assignments spanned a range of installation types and scales from smaller captive installations to large utility-scale ground- mounted arrays including a floating solar photovoltaic plant, representing one of the more innovative deployment formats in the sector.
The scrutiny process encompassed a comprehensive review of civil, structural, and electrical components, verifying that foundations, module mounting structures, cable management systems, control rooms, and associated civil works conformed to applicable national codes, structural safety norms, and project-specific requirements. The combined installed capacity reviewed during the year ran into 110 megawatts, providing significant assurance for capital investments in clean energy infrastructure across the CIL group
8.3 Design & Drawing Scrutiny FMC & Other Projects
Scrutiny Assignments Completed 20 Assignments
Technical scrutiny and vetting of structural, civil, and electro-mechanical design drawings for FMC infrastructure constituted one of the most voluminous categories of work during the year. Assignments covered coal handling plants, coal washeries, mechanised rail sidings, coal preparation facilities, and high-capacity electrical substations spread across multiple subsidiary companies representing a diverse cross-section of core coal processing and
transportation infrastructure.
In addition to FMC-related assets, the Department scrutinised designs for large- capacity heavy equipment maintenance workshops, coal weighing and dispatch systems, and complex multi-transformer substation configurations. This vetting function serves as a critical quality gateway, ensuring structural adequacy and regulatory compliance before construction commences. The volume and diversity of scrutiny assignments during the year testify to the Departments broad multi-disciplinary expertise and its indispensable role in safeguarding capital investment quality across the group.
8.4 Project Planning
The Department contributed to corporate- level investment planning by preparing and updating the civil engineering cost components of project reports for new mine developments, and by conducting technical vetting of project reports and revised project reports submitted through the Project Appraisal Department. This function is foundational to sound capital decision-making ensuring that civil cost estimates embedded in project reports are technically rigorous, consistent with prevailing schedules of rates, and reflective of current design standards, thereby supporting informed and defensible investment approvals at the Board level
8.5 Civil & Architectural Detailed Design
The Department carried out in-house preparation of detailed civil and architectural designs for a range of projects during the year. Work included structural design for bridges spanning mine- area drainage streams, comprehensive technical schemes for effluent treatment plants, and detailed design of high- capacity electrical substations. Structural repair, retrofitting, and rehabilitation services were also provided for ageing plant infrastructure at operating mines, extending the functional life of critical assets.
A strategically significant assignment during the year involved a comprehensive study on the utilisation of mine water from both active and abandoned coal mines a subject of increasing operational and environmental importance as mining operations mature. The Department also
prepared construction drawings for wind barriers along coal transport corridors as part of dust mitigation initiatives, and prepared mining plans and mine closure plans, reflecting an expanding scope into mine environmental planning and regulatory compliance.
8.6 Hydrological Studies
Hydrological investigations and nallah diversion studies were conducted for opencast coal mining projects as mandatory inputs to the environmental clearance process. These studies comprised detailed catchment area analysis, estimation of design flood parameters using recognised hydrological methods, and hydraulic design of diversion channels to safely route natural watercourses around operational mine areas without adversely affecting the broader drainage regime.
One assignment involved a wide-area hydrology study encompassing an assessment of the impact on water bodies within a designated buffer zone around a major opencast project, together with the formulation of a restoration action plan a condition stipulated under the Terms of Reference granted by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC). These studies demonstrate the Departments integrated capability in mine water resource management and its ability to support subsidiaries in meeting their statutory environmental obligations
8.7 Outside Consultancy Assignments
The Department extended its specialised technical expertise to organisations outside the CIL group by undertaking design & drawing scrutiny
for the development of coal handling infrastructure on an turnkey basis. This category of external engagement reflects the growing recognition of CMPDILs technical competence, contributes to institutional revenue generation, and reinforces the Departments standing as a credible and sought-after consultancy in the coal infrastructure domain
8.8 Tender Documents, Estimation & Scheme Preparation
Preparation of detailed technical schemes, cost estimates, and tender documents encompassing both technical and commercial components formed a significant and diverse body of work during the year. The scope covered a wide range of infrastructure categories: coal handling plants, high-voltage electrical substations, equipment maintenance workshops, dust suppression systems, roads and plazas, and sewage treatment facilities. The Department prepared documents under conventional NIT- based tendering frameworks as well as specialised procurement modes including
Build-Own-Operate (BOO) concepts and turnkey/EPC formats.
Feasibility and pre-feasibility reports were also prepared for major capital investments in washeries, deshaling plants, and conveyor transport systems, providing the technical and financial foundation for investment appraisal and Board-level decision-making. The breadth of this category spanning civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and environmental works, reflects the Departments comprehensive multidisciplinary capability and its critical role as an internal technical resource for subsidiaries across the Coal India group.
8.9 Structural Adequacy Study
A structural adequacy assessment was conducted for an existing coal handling plant to evaluate the integrity, residual strength, and load-bearing capacity of the structure following extended years of operational service under demanding process conditions. The study involved detailed structural analysis, systematic site inspection, and appraisal of original design parameters against current structural conditions. Findings and recommendations from such assessments provide the evidential basis for decisions on continued operation, targeted maintenance interventions, or structural reinforcement thereby ensuring operational safety and optimising the lifecycle value of capital-intensive processing infrastructure.
Taken together, the work of the Civil Engineering Department in 202526 demonstrates the organisations consistent ability to deliver high-quality technical services across a wide spectrum of disciplines and project types. As Coal India advances its production,
environmental, and infrastructure development objectives, the Department remains committed to providing the engineering rigour and consultancy excellence on which these goals depend.

Earlier, Coal e-Auction was being done only by outside agencies viz. MSTC and Mjunction. CIL Board of Directors directed CIL to develop an in-house capacity for conducting coal e-Auction. CMPDIL has developed the Coal e-Auction platform for auction of Coal as per the Single Window Mode Agnostic Scheme 2022. The development of Portal and its modifications has been done by NIC, MeitY, GoI, who is our technology partner for this project. CMPDIL has started conducing e-Auctions for coal from 2023. CMPDIL has successfully conducted 237 auctions for all subsidiaries of CIL for a total quantity of 130 Million Tonne during the F.Y.
2024- 25. In December 2024, changes have been made in SWMA scheme 2022. Accordingly, the portal has been developed and is conducting auctions as per modified scheme. In the newly developed platform CMPDIL is conducting 25% of the total SWMA auctions as pre order dated 24.09.2025 of CIL. After re-development of portal, CMPDIL has successfully conducted 36 auctions for all subsidiaries of CIL for a total quantity of 28.10 Million Tonne during the F.Y.
2025- 26. In the developed portal, bidders are able to see and refer their bids with time punch as the same is being stored in their dashboard for each activity done by them in the live portal. The newly developed system is more user friendly and scope for making error by a bidder during live auction is eliminated. In the newly developed platform, there will be no intervention from administrator side either by CMPDIL or NIC for making any alteration in the auction process till successful completion of the auction.
