In 2026, Coal India completed a corporate carbon footprint assessment and publicly disclosed its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to the GHG Protocol, covering Scope 1 (direct emissions from owned or controlled sources), Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) and Scope 3 (indirect emissions across the value chain).
However, Coal India has not published a category-level breakdown of its Scope 3 emissions, limiting visibility into specific value chain sources.

In 2026, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Coal India amounted to 35,895,249.77 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of Coal India increased by 2.57%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing its emissions from its core operations.a
In 2026, the total Scope 1 emissions of Coal India were 28,190,235 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2020, Coal India's Scope 1 emissions have increased by 2,475.13%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2025), Coal India's Scope 1 emissions increased by 5.67%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions from its directly owned or controlled operations.a
In 2026, Coal India reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 7,705,014.77 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2020, Coal India's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have increased by 108.17%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2025), Coal India's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that Coal India's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.a
In 2026, Coal India reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2026, Coal India reported 876,337 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2026 disclosure of Coal India includes a breakdown across 0 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2025, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2026, Coal India reported total Scope 3 emissions of 876,337 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Compared to the previous year (2025), Coal India's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Coal India's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.a
In 2026, Coal India reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 28,190,235 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 18,034 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 1,563.17 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2026, Coal India reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 1,563.17 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 1,063.18, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2026, Coal India ranked 15 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Coal India is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2026, Coal India reported a total carbon footprint of 36,771,586.77 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 2.46% increase compared to 2025, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.a
The largest contributor to Coal India's total carbon footprint was Scope 1 emissions, accounting for 76.66% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 20.95%.a
