New Delhi: The Ministry of Coal is set to launch Koyla Shakti, a Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard designed to provide real-time monitoring and analysis of operations across India’s coal sector. The launch will take place on 29 October 2025 at The Oberoi Hotel, New Delhi, in the presence of G. Kishan Reddy, Minister of Coal and Mines, who will attend as the Chief Guest.
In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to strengthen Digital India through technology-driven governance, the Ministry of Coal has been introducing several initiatives to digitalise the sector. Koyla Shakti marks a major leap in this effort, offering a unified, real-time platform that consolidates information on coal production, transportation, and supply. The dashboard is designed to enable data-driven decision-making, promote transparency, and improve efficiency across the coal ecosystem.
Developed by the Ministry of Coal, Koyla Shakti – Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard (SCAD) serves as a central digital platform integrating data from multiple stakeholders, including coal-producing companies, private miners, and central and state departments such as Coal, Railways, Power, Finance, Ports, Shipping & Waterways, and Road Transport & Highways. It also connects power generation companies, industrial coal consumers, port authorities, and private coal-handling terminals to ensure seamless data flow and coordination.
The dashboard aims to strengthen operational efficiency, enhance coordination, and improve transparency across the coal supply chain. It offers unified visibility by integrating diverse data sources into a single, comprehensive interface and enables continuous tracking of coal production, dispatch, and logistics. Equipped with analytical tools, it supports evidence-based policy formulation and management decisions while providing real-time alerts to address operational challenges swiftly. With standardised reporting formats and consistent performance metrics, Koyla Shakti simplifies monitoring, reduces manual errors, and allows scalability for integration with future digital systems.
The launch of Koyla Shakti reinforces the Ministry’s commitment to advancing the Digital India mission by promoting transparency, accountability, and efficiency in coal governance. Through this initiative, the Ministry seeks to leverage technology for sustainable resource management, improved oversight, and enhanced public confidence. It also aligns with the government’s larger goal of achieving Atmanirbhar Bharat and strengthening India’s long-term energy security.
