The demand for energy is consistently on the rise, and coal plays a pivotal role in India's energy security and economy. It remains the primary source of commercial energy in the country. It ensures a reliable and steady energy supply, crucial for sustaining industrial growth and powering urbanisation.
The Coal Controller’s Organisation (CCO), a subordinate office of the Ministry of Coal, lays down the procedure and standard for sampling of coal, inspects the collieries to ensure the correctness of the class grade of coal, issues directives for the purpose of declaration and maintenance of grades of coal of a seam mined in a colliery under Colliery Control Rules, 2004 (Amended in 2021). The availability of quality data of seams of Coal & Lignite mines of Central Public Sector, State Govt and Private is paramount for decision-making processes.
The Coal Controller’s Organisation (CCO), having its field offices at Dhanbad, Ranchi, Bilaspur, Nagpur, Sambalpur, and Kothagudem, carried out the exercise of drawing the coal samples and its analysis from Coal & Lignite mines of Central Public Sector Units, State Govt and Private sector for the year 2024-25.
The annual sampling exercise was carried out in around 427 mines in CPSU (331), State Govt (69), and Private sector (27), respectively. To ensure the correctness of the grade, the samples drawn were analysed in two different labs.
The declaration of annual grading of mines' seams as per the procedure has been completed. The declared grade of seams of all Coal & Lignite mines of Public Sector, State Govt and Private mines will be applicable with effect from April 1, 2024.
