SINGAPORE (Reuters) -State-run mining group Coal India has issued tenders to build 3 gigawatts of solar and 2 GW of wind power plants, its most significant move yet to diversify revenue sources amid a decline in output this year due to tepid demand.
The company currently has an installed solar capacity of about 0.2 GW, and plans to increase that to 3 GW by 2028 and 9.5 GW by 2030.
Production by Coal India, which accounts for about three-quarters of the country’s coal output, fell 3.5% during the first five months of this fiscal year ending March 2026.
