SECL is the only subsidiary of Coal India Limited to have recorded growth in coal production, offtake, and overburden removal (OBR) during the period under review. The company reported OBR of 350 million cubic metres, which is expected to support higher production in the coming months.
The growth in output has been driven by strong performance from its mega projects, including Gevra (51.7 MT), Dipka (36.5 MT), and Kusmunda (30.7 MT). Other operational areas such as Central India Coalfields, Raigarh, and Korba also contributed significantly to overall production.

Operating across Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, SECL is the second-largest coal-producing company in India, contributing around 17–18 percent of the country’s total coal output. The company is implementing focused strategies to further enhance production and dispatch, particularly in view of the anticipated surge in power demand during the summer season.
