Kolkata: Coal India Ltd (CIL) on Monday said it has, for the first time, breached the 600 million tonne (MT)-mark in its production and off-take, clocking a 7% and 4.8% growth, respectively, during 2018-19 fiscal but missed the annual targets on both fronts marginally.
Ahead of summer, the miner, however, claimed there is “sufficient coal in the system” to meet the demand of the country.
Against a target of 610 MT in 2018-19, the Maharatna coal mining giant produced 607 MT coal, up by 7% from 567.37 MT produced in the previous fiscal (2017-18).
