Smt. Rupinder Brar, Additional Secretary and Nominated Authority, delivered a detailed presentation
focusing on the Koyla Shakti, Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard (SCAD). She explained that the portal has
been conceptualized as a unified, real-time digital platform integrating data from multiple sources

railways, ports, and power utilities. The dashboard provides end-to-end visibility on coal production,
dispatch, logistics, and consumption, ensuring seamless coordination among stakeholders.

Smt. Brar highlighted that Koyla Shakti enables real-time monitoring of coal movement through rail,
road, and multimodal systems, facilitating data-driven decision-making and predictive analytics for
better demand forecasting and logistics planning. The system enhances efficiency, transparency, and
accountability by consolidating key performance indicators into a single, easy-to-navigate interface. She
also briefly highlighted that the CLAMP will complement Koyla Shakti by strengthening land acquisition
management and compliance processes.

The Koyla Shakti Dashboard is a pioneering digital platform that integrates the entire coal value chain
from mine to market on a unified interface. The platform facilitates real-time coordination among coal
companies, railways, ports, and end users, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring
seamless coal logistics.

As a comprehensive decision-support system, Koyla Shakti enables data-driven governance, optimizes
resource allocation, and strengthens supply chain management. This initiative underscores the
Ministry’s commitment to transparency, efficiency, and technological innovation, in line with the
Government’s vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Minimum Government, Maximum Governance.
