Sustainability Performance
Tribal Group Farming Activity at Raigarh, Tamnar
At Raigarh, Tamnar, a Tribal Group Farming initiative has been launched, promoting natural and sustainable farming techniques. Ten farmers have adopted chemical-free agriculture, replacing synthetic fertilisers and pesticides with crop rotation, composting, green manure, and biological pest control methods. This has led to improved soil health, reduced input costs, and enhanced climate resilience.
Carbon Footprint Reduction at PEKB Mine
To enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprint, a power factor improvement initiative was implemented at PEKB, increasing the power factor from 0.96 to 0.99. This has resulted in a 3% reduction in kVAh power consumption, with the panel commissioned on August 17, 2024. Additionally, the installation of a 9 MW solar panel at the Parsa site is underway. Once commissioned, this initiative will enable the site to earn carbon credits, further reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and clean energy adoption.
Water Footprint Reduction at Talabira Mine
Deployment of Fog Cannons has significantly improved air quality while reducing water usage. Compared to traditional water tankers, this has led to a 30%–40% reduction in water footprint.
Dozer Push Mining at PEKB Mine
For the first time in Asia, the dozer push mining method has been successfully implemented. Semi-Autonomous Dozer Push Mining ensures improved safety, reduction in fleet size and reduced carbon footprint as compared to conventional shovel dumper method.
Carbon (CO2) Sequestration at Talabira Mine
250 mature Sal trees were successfully transplanted using a Tree Transplanter, enhancing green cover in the region for CO2 sequestration.
Sal Regeneration (Cyclic Process) at PEKB Mine
Sal regeneration is a unique process initiated for the propagation of indigenous Sal trees in the restoration area. It is considered a key process for the existence of species in the community, as it maintains the desired composition and stocking. This regeneration process includes flower collection, seed hardening, and sapling preparation, resulting in healthy Sal trees. More than 50% of the mined land has been reclaimed through Sal plants and fruit-bearing plants.
Sustainability focus at Kurmitar Mine
- Construction of three check dams to manage surface run-off and prevent contamination of water bodies, especially during the rainy season
- Successfully prevented 4,500 cum of run-off material from contaminating surface water
- 329 KL of water saved by installing fixed auto water sprinklers along 1.7 KM of haul road, reducing dust emissions efficiently
- 100% organic waste is processed through a composting machine (50 kg/day capacity), ensuring sustainable waste management
- Established a nursery with 20,000 saplings, improving plant survival rates by protecting them from harsh climatic conditions before transplantation in the mine area

Outlook
As India’s largest Private Sector MDO, the Company aims to grow coal production by over 25%, reaching 60 MMTPA over next 18 months. This ambitious goal will be driven by end-to-end digitalisation of all operational mines, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and innovation. The Company’s strategic vision is to expand its natural resources business, leveraging a diverse portfolio of energy assets. With a focus on securing a dominant position in the coal industry, we plan to diversify into profitable Coal & Iron Ore mining segments while maintaining a sustainable and aggressive expansion strategy. As India’s steel market continues to grow, we aim to support mine owners in maximising their reserves sustainably through our MDO services. By ramping up existing projects and acquiring new ones, we strive to meet the rising demand from India’s pellet and steel plants.
