Caliber Mining and Logistics is an end-to-end mining and logistics service provider. The company undertakes overburden removal, coal extraction, coal loading and unloading, road transportation, and coordinates rail transportation for its customers. It owned a fleet of 1,911 vehicles, plants and machinery, including 100 leased assets as of April 30, 2026. Its fleet comprised 883 tippers, 64 loaders, 162 excavators and 362 tip trailers.
The company’s mining operations are spread across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. While it operates several mines, it does not own any of them. Most of its work comes from subsidiaries of Coal India Limited, mainly Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) and Northern Coalfields Limited (NCL). The order book stood at ₹9,550.89 crore as of May 15, 2026.
The company operates across five business segments: coal mining services, logistics, rake loading, rail coordination services and coal trading. Coal mining services include coal extraction and overburden removal under contract for WCL, NCL and private companies. The logistics business covers loading, unloading and road transportation of coal and iron ore. The company loads coal onto railway rakes through its rake loading business, while its rail coordination business helps customers manage coal movement through Indian Railways. It also trades coal by purchasing and selling it in the domestic market.
Coal mining services have become the company's largest business. In FY26, this segment contributed ₹1,444.17 crore or 86.1% of revenue from operations, compared with 69.4% in FY24, followed by Logistics at 12.44% or ₹208.67 crore revenue in FY26, down from 27.8% in FY24. The remaining revenue came from rake loading, rail coordination and coal trading.
The company operated at ten contract sites across Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh as of the date of the RHP. Its customers at these sites include WCL, NCL and Adani Power. Mining work at the Parsa mine for Adani Power has remained suspended since September 1, 2023. The company extracted 0.46 million MT of coal and removed 13.59 million cubic meters (Mcum) of overburden during the one month ended April 30, 2026. It extracted 4.48 MMT of coal and removed 128.07 Mcum of overburden across 7 open-cast mines in FY26. Overburden removal increased by 88.18% between FY24 and FY26.
The company entered the logistics business in FY16 by providing coal loading, unloading and road transportation services. It expanded into iron ore logistics in FY23. The company transported 8.50 MT of coal and 0.07 MT of iron ore by road. It also loaded 11.37 MT of coal onto railway rakes during FY26. Its rake loading business involves loading coal onto railway wagons using its own equipment and inspecting and cleaning wagons to reduce coal pilferage. The company assists power plants that purchase coal from Coal India subsidiaries by coordinating rake allocation, rake placement, loading and weighment with Indian Railways through its rail coordination services.
The company served 49 customers in FY26, compared with 39 in FY24. Coal India subsidiaries contributed 85.11% of revenue from operations in FY26, up from 62.6% in FY24. WCL and NCL together accounted for 98.87% of revenue generated from coal extraction and overburden removal during FY26. Major logistics customers include KSR Freight Carriers, which is a related party, GMR Warora Energy Limited and Dhariwal Infrastructure Limited.
Contract mining is becoming increasingly important in India's coal sector. Under the Mine Developer-cum-Operator (MDO) model, Coal India and other mine owners outsource mine development and operations to private contractors. In FY25, CIL outsourced around 63% of coal mining and 89% of overburden removal to private contractors. These shares are expected to increase to around 70% and 94%, respectively, by FY30 as CIL works towards its 1 BT production target. The contract mining opportunity is expanding rapidly. Outsourced coal extraction is expected to increase from around 523 MT in FY25 to 888 MT by FY30, representing a CAGR of 11.2%. During the same period, outsourced overburden removal is projected to rise from 2,154 Mm³ to 4,312 Mm³.
In value terms, the total addressable contract mining market, including coal extraction and overburden removal, was estimated at ₹29,729 crore in FY25 and is expected to grow to ₹66,393 crore by FY30, implying a CAGR of 17.4%. Overburden removal is expected to account for 78% of the market by FY30, while coal mining will contribute the remaining 22%. CIL-related contracts are expected to remain the largest opportunity, accounting for around 85% of the coal contract mining market and 83% of the overburden removal market by FY30.
The company plans to expand its logistics business further, particularly in iron ore transportation. The company transported 0.24 MT of iron ore in FY24, no iron ore in FY25 and 0.07 MT in FY26. In addition, the company is looking to expand into Odisha and Jharkhand by participating in new mining tenders, while continuing to strengthen its presence in Maharashtra, which contributed 55.48% of FY26 revenue, as well as Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Since Caliber operates as an integrated mining contractor with expertise in coal extraction, overburden removal and logistics and already has strong relationships with Coal India subsidiaries, it is well placed to benefit from the expanding contract mining opportunity over the coming years.
