Union Minister of Coal and Mines has launched two new digital platforms—the KOYLA SHAKTI Dashboard and the Coal Land Acquisition, Management, Portal (CLAMP)—on October 29, 2025. The Minister stated that KOYLA SHAKTI will serve as the digital backbone of India’s coal ecosystem, strengthening real-time coordination and enabling data-driven governance. He also highlighted CLAMP as a milestone in promoting transparent and citizen-centric governance, specifically reducing delays in land acquisition processes.
KOYLA SHAKTI Dashboard (SCAD)
Conceptualized as the Smart Coal Analytics Dashboard (SCAD), this pioneering platform integrates the entire coal value chain—from mine to market—on a unified interface.
It integrates real-time data from multiple sources, including coal-producing companies, private miners, Railways, Ports, central ministries (Power, Finance), and state departments.
The system eliminates coordination silos, providing end-to-end visibility on production, dispatch, logistics, and consumption.
This decision-support system enables data-driven governance, optimizes resource allocation, strengthens supply chain management, and facilitates predictive analytics for better demand forecasting.
Coal Land Acquisition, Management, Portal (CLAMP)
CLAMP is introduced as a unified digital solution specifically designed to streamline land acquisition, compensation, and rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) processes in the coal sector.
The portal serves as a centralized repository of land records and digitizes the complete workflow, from uploading land details to the payment of compensation.
It also ensures equitable and time-bound compensation and rehabilitation for coal-bearing areas.
