Eastern Coalfields Limited (ECL), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL), has launched a forward-looking revenue-sharing model to revive discontinued and financially unviable coal mines. This initiative seeks to enhance production efficiency, attract private participation, and maximize resource utilization without burdening the company with fresh capital expenditure. By introducing a performance-linked structure, ECL aims to balance operational revival with financial prudence while supporting India’s broader energy security goals.
