Coal India Limited (CIL) Chairman Pramod Agrawal on Thursday said focus on increasing productivity would help the Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) increase production of dry fuel and dispatch to power plants to meet the nation’s energy requirement.
Agrawal, who came on a two-day maiden visit to the MCL, inspected mining operations at Asia’s largest Talcher coalfields. He reviewed the production and dispatch operations of MCL, which alone contributes about 20 per cent to the total coal production in the country.
MCL Chairman-cum-Managing Director BN Shukla, who accompanied Agrawal, also briefed him on the current and future prospects of the company, particularly in Talcher.
