In a continuous endeavour to improve the quality of domestic coal supply, Coal India (CIL) is progressively stepping up coal despatches through silo based mechanized loading system, integrated with Auto Mechanical Samplers. This technology-driven process ensures greater consistency in coal quality, circumventing human interference, while significantly reducing quality-related concerns of consumers. To ensure an impartial, transparent, and credible determination of coal quality, as stipulated under the provisions of the Fuel Supply Agreement, CIL facilitates sampling and testing through independent Third Party Sampling Agencies (TPSAs). Currently, 11 TPSAs are on board empaneled by Power Finance Corporation Limited (PFCL) to carry out sampling and analysis at coal loading points of CIL's subsidiary companies. Coal consumers have the flexibility to select a TPSA of their choice from the PFCL-empaneled agencies for quality assessment. Till December FY 2026, CIL has despatched about 375 Million Tonnes (MTs) of coal through rail mode which was sampled by TPSAs. Of this, half of the despatches were made through silos where the installed auto mechanical samplers ensured high standards of coal quality process control. CIL is aiming to increase this quantity to around 80% in the current fiscal. In a bid to achieve this steep target the commissioning of new first mile connectivity projects and loading through silos is rigorously followed. Based on coal quality sampling analysis provided by TPSAs and referee labs, CIL's overall grade conformity has risen to 85% till December of the ongoing fiscal year. The same was 82% year ago same period. The increased silo loading efforts by CIL are going to further scale up the conformity. CIL has also taken steps to introduce online analysis at two of its subsidiaries to obtain real time quality assessment results. The move is aimed at further promoting the use of technology and transparency in the sampling. Notwithstanding these measures, by nature, Indian coal is so highly heterogeneous that, coal even within the same seam displays different grades. Owing to this, very seldom does the gross calorific value matches for two samples taken from different locations of the same rake. However, the use of technology for quality assessment has become a major focus area for CIL. Powered by Capital Market - Live

In a first, effective 1 January 2026, Coal India (CIL) has permitted coal consumers located in the neighbouring countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal, who wish to import coal from India, to directly participate in the Single Window Mode Agnostic (SWMA) auctions conducted by the company. CIL's Board has cleared the decks recently for this move, tweaking the scheme's mechanism in the SWMA auction. 'Opening SWMA e-auctions to foreign buyers reflects CIL's calibrated approach to market expansion while fully safeguarding domestic coal requirements. This step enhances transparency, competition and global market integration' said a senior company official. Under the revised framework, foreign buyers can participate alongside domestic buyers in SWMA auction. Earlier, access to CIL's coal by coal consumers across the borders was only through domestic coal traders who were allowed to buy and sell coal without any end use restrictions. All operational and procedural modalities have been incorporated in the updated Scheme. Key provisions for foreign buyers include one-time registration, participation through digital bidding, advance electronic payments and export through notified logistics channels. Payment process would be transparent as per Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) rules. While buyers from Nepal can make the payments in INR as well as US Dollar, buyers from the other two countries are required to affect their payment in US Dollars, valuation of which would be on INR. Earlier, CIL had dialogues with the prospective coal consumers from abroad to categorize the enabling clauses and gauge their need of coal. Powered by Capital Market - Live
