Coal India on Wednesday said its average despatch to the thermal power plants at 1.69 million tonnes (mt) per day in May has been more than the average demand of 1.65 million tonnes per day from the generating companies.
Total coal supply to the power plants was 52.4 mt in May with a year-on-year growth of nearly 18 per cent over May 2021. In the first two months of the ongoing fiscal — April and May — the total supply to power plants was 102.2 mt, a 16.7 per cent jump a year ago.
Coal India said in a statement that it is facing a production target of 700 mt in 2022-23, which entails a growth of 12.4 per cent.
