South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL), the Chhattisgarh-based arm of state-run Coal India Limited (CIL), has recorded the fastest 100 million tonne (mt) coal production in the current financial year since its inception.
The company joined the 100 mt club on November 18 and achieved the target in the shortest period since it came into being in 1985. The SECL spokesperson said the firm achieved the 100 mt target 32 days ahead compared to the previous financial year.
SECL’s three mega projects located in Chhattisgarh’s Korba district have contributed significantly to the achievement.
