A Digital Leap in Coal Sector Governance
Koyla Shakti Smart Analytics Dashboard for Digital Coal Governance: The Ministry of Coal is launching the Koyla Shakti Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard on October 29, 2025, at The Oberoi, New Delhi. The platform will be inaugurated by Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy, marking a crucial step in promoting data-driven transparency within the coal sector. This initiative aligns with the Digital India mission and represents a paradigm shift in how India manages its energy resources.
Static GK fact: The Ministry of Coal was established in 1972 and oversees coal exploration, production, and distribution across India.
Unified Platform for Coal Operations
Koyla Shakti will act as a centralized digital monitoring system, integrating real-time data from key stakeholders such as Coal India Limited, power utilities, and state mining departments. It will also connect with central ministries like Railways, Power, Finance, and Ports & Shipping to ensure seamless coordination in coal supply chains.
This integration enables efficient monitoring of production, dispatch, logistics, and end-use patterns, ensuring both accountability and operational precision.
Static GK Tip: India is the second-largest coal producer in the world, following China.
Features and Strategic Goals
The dashboard’s primary goal is to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability across the coal ecosystem. Among its major features are:
- Real-time tracking of coal production and logistics.
- Predictive analytics for demand forecasting.
- Standardized performance metrics for better policy evaluation.
- Incident alert systems to reduce downtime and improve supply reliability.
Koyla Shakti will also support policy formulation by providing comprehensive insights into resource utilization, infrastructure efficiency, and environmental compliance.
Technology Empowering Transparency
The introduction of this smart digital platform aims to reduce manual reporting, accelerate decision-making, and strengthen data authenticity. By minimizing human error and streamlining coordination among agencies, it ensures faster problem resolution in coal logistics and distribution.
This digital ecosystem signifies a broader movement towards tech-enabled governance, in line with India’s commitment to sustainable and efficient energy management.
Static GK fact: Coal India Limited (CIL), established in 1975, contributes nearly 80% of India’s total coal output.
Strengthening Energy Security and Atmanirbhar Bharat
The Koyla Shakti Dashboard reinforces the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, focusing on self-reliant energy management. It not only supports India’s energy security but also contributes to the Digital India and Ease of Doing Business goals.
By offering real-time analytics and predictive insights, it empowers policymakers and industries to make data-backed decisions, ensuring sustainable coal utilization in the years ahead.
Static GK Tip: India’s total coal reserves are estimated at over 352 billion tonnes (as per Geological Survey of India, 2024).
