MINISTER OF COAL AND MINES
(SHRI G. KISHAN REDDY)
(a) & (b): Coal Land Acquisition and Management Portal (CLAMP) is a digital, unified platform
created by the Ministry of Coal for land acquisition under Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and
Development) Act, 1957. It acts as a central repository in digitised form for land records with
respect to the land being acquired under the CBA Act and contributes to citizen-centric
governance. Affected persons can verify the uploaded information, check the status of their claims
or see how their grievance is being handled.
Koyla Shakti Dashboard is a centralized platform to provide real-time insights into coal
production, logistics and consumption. Key features of this portal are: improved visibility across
coal supply chain, effective monitoring of coal logistics, planning & action for decision making,
identifying bottlenecks & delays for faster resolution and enable integration among systems.
(c): CLAMP is designed to streamline and digitize the entire process of land acquisition for coal
mining and ancillary activities, starting from submission of application, uploading of land details,
processing and approval of application; tracking acquisition progress; e.g., notifications,
possession and compensation etc.; monitoring and tracking of payment of compensation to
landowners, and monitoring of Rehabilitation & Resettlement (R&R) of affected families.
(d): Koyla Shakti Dashboard has integrated data of coal production and supply chain from coal
PSUs and private mines, Railways, ports, power plants (CEA), customs, MoRTH (VAHAN,
FASTag) and State Governments (e-Khanij portal). The Koyla Shakti Dashboard integrates key
operational parameters such as real time coal production, dispatch, mine-end stocks, rake
allocation and loading performance, rail movement status, port stock and vessel schedules, and
power plant coal consumption and critical stock levels. These datasets provide an end-to end view
of the coal supply chain for coordinated decision-making.
(e): Coal Land Acquisition and Management Portal (CLAMP) is designed to enhance
coordination among coal companies and various agencies and provide data integration and
monitoring so as to contribute to improved transparency and accountability, and reduced delays.
Koyla Shakti Dashboard has been designed to enhance real-time coordination among coal
companies, Railways, ports and power utilities. It integrates production, dispatch, rake movement
and stock data on a single digital platform, enabling faster and more efficient inter-agency
decision-making.
