State-owned CIL arm Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd on Wednesday said it has further increased its business operations, with an average daily coal despatch crossing 5.1 lakh tonne in the current month, as it also keeps a close watch on the stock situation of dry fuel in thermal power plants in Odisha.
The statement comes at a time when various plants in the country are facing coal shortages.
“In a bid to support state-owned CIL’s efforts to successfully meet the increased demand of indigenous dry fuel, Odisha-based miniratna CPSE Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) has further augmented its business operations with an average daily coal despatch crossing 5.1 lakh tonne during the current month,” the Coal India arm said in a statement.
