To the eye, it's a lumpen mass.To the Earth it's another layer. To us it's a precious product. We ought to know.We've mined it.We've refined it. And we've fed it to the core sector.To us, coal is an emotion. We extend to it all our traditional values, which are long and deep rooted in the Indian soil.Let us emphasize that we fervently believe in our nation as one big family.Its people are sacred to us.

Our family business started over 70 years ago by owning and operating a number of coal mines in Bihar and West Bengal. When coal mining was nationalised in 1972, we were producing 2,000,000 Tons of Coal per annum.
