E & M Department


Coal Production has increased by 10 % in 2023-24 compared to 2022-23 and there is increase in OB removal by 312 MM3.

Electricity consumption in CIL as a whole in 2023-24 was 4273.61 million units compared to 4598.78 million units in 2022-23, showing a decrease of 7.07%. Total amount paid towards energy Bill in 2023-24 was Rs. 3633.03 crore against Rs. 3764.16 crore in 2022-23, a decrease of 3.48%.

In terms of total coal production, specific energy Consumption for CIL as a whole, during 2023-24 was 5.72 KWh/T as against 6.54 KWh/T during 2022- 23 with an overall decrease of 12.54%.

In terms of composite production (in M3), Specific Energy Consumption during 2023-24, for CIL as a whole, was 1.76 KWh/m3 vis-à-vis 2.19 KWh/m3 during 2022-23 with an overall decrease of 19.63%.

  • A comprehensive range of energy efficiency measures that have led to substantial reductions in energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

In FY 2023-24, we surpassed our CO2 reduction target by achieving a reduction of 1, 05,319 tonnes. Our measures include the use of energy-efficient technologies and practices across our operations, such as the installation of LED lights, energy-efficient air conditioners, water heaters, super fans, and Energy Efficient motors. Additionally, the deployment of electric vehicles and the use of auto timers in street lights have further contributed to reducing our carbon footprint.

  • Total 25 nos. electrical energy audits were conducted by BEE during 2023-24 for different subsidiaries of CIL as mentioned below:
    • CCL-01, ECL-01, SECL-05, BCCL-04,
    • CIL (HQ)-01 & NCL-13.
  • Overall utilization of Running CHPs (Annual Cap>1MTY) in 2023-24 was 73.85% and Coal handled was 189.12 MT through these CHPs which has reduced CO2 emission and dust generation by way of reduced diesel consumption by tipping trucks & reduced road transportation distance.
  • Improvement in Power Factor - Almost all the areas of the subsidiary companies have maintained Power Factors from 0.90 to 0.99 during 2023-24 by installing capacitor banks of appropriate KVAR rating. During 2023-24, 20775 KVAR of capacitor banks have been procured and installed at subsidiaries.
