In a landmark step towards India’s digital and sustainable infrastructure goals, the National Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (NICDC), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, has launched the “Koyla Shakti” – Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard (SCAD). The platform, developed under the guidance of the Ministry of Coal and powered by the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP), was unveiled by Union Minister for Coal and Mines, G. Kishan Reddy.
The Koyla Shakti Dashboard marks a major stride in integrating real-time analytics, smart logistics, and digital governance within India’s coal ecosystem. By providing end-to-end visibility of coal production, transportation, and consumption, the platform is designed to enhance transparency, optimize logistics, and support sustainability across the entire value chain.
