The Portal comprises two distinct yet inter-woven sections: the first, the Corporate Website, contains information regarding Coal India for the reference of its external stakeholders, including investors, customers, media and the public; the second, the Employee Portal, contains information and applications for the exclusive use of Coal India employees. The contents are available in both English and Hindi wherever applicable.

The Corporate Portal includes sections about Coal India’s corporate details, business information and media coverage. It also has interactive systems such as Tenders, Careers, Customer Management and Grievance Management that will allow Coal India’s stakeholders direct and real-time access to its Key Executives and core external processes. This is expected to enhance the stakeholder management process, bring transparency, timeliness and relevancy in information dissemination and management of public matters, and consequently build organisational visibility and credibility in India, and globally.
