Kolkata: In a move aimed at enhancing coal evacuation and logistics efficiency, Coal India Limited (CIL) has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indian Port Rail & Ropeway Corporation Ltd (IPRCL) for the development of rail infrastructure for CIL and its subsidiaries.

The agreement was formalized on June 5, 2025, during a signing ceremony held in Kolkata, according to a regulatory filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

Strategic Collaboration to Improve Coal Evacuation

The collaboration is expected to bolster CIL’s efforts to streamline rail connectivity across its coal mining projects, aiding both the transportation and offtake of coal to key consumers across India.

The MoU outlines a framework for cooperation but does not legally bind either party at this stage. Further project-level agreements are expected to follow, based on feasibility studies and strategic requirements.

About Indian Port Rail & Ropeway Corporation Ltd

IPRCL is a joint venture (JV) company formed under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, with-

  • 90% equity held by 11 major Indian ports, and
  • 10% equity held by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), which operates under the Ministry of Railways.

The JV was created to develop efficient rail evacuation systems for ports, enhance port throughput, and now aims to expand its footprint in the coal logistics sector through this new association with CIL.

CIL’s Performance & Targets

Coal India, a maharatna PSU, contributes over 80% of India’s coal production. In FY2024–25, the company produced 781.1 million tonnes (MT) of coal, falling short of its annual target of 838 MT by nearly 7%.

Looking ahead, CIL has set an ambitious target of-

  • 875 MT coal production, and
  • 900 MT offtake for FY2025–26.

Enhanced rail infrastructure is considered key to achieving these targets efficiently and sustainably.
