Currently, the exploration is carried out exclusively by government entities such as the Central Mine Planning & Design Institute (CMPDI), Geological Survey of India, Mineral Exploration Corp. (MECL), and state-government agencies.

According to the Action Plan for FY26 of the Union coal ministry, the government will look at promoting participation of the private sector in coal exploration with state-run entities. A new exploration strategy is in the works as the ongoing scheme to boost exploration of coal is scheduled to end this fiscal.
