Coal mining — Business MegaBrands 2026–27
Coal mining covers companies that extract thermal and coking coal from opencast and underground mines and supply it to power stations, steel plants, cement kilns and other industries. Coal still fuels most of India's electricity generation. Mining operations also fund district mineral foundations and support employment in coal-bearing states such as Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Telangana.
