As the country’s peak power demand is expected to increase this fiscal, state-owned Coal India (CIL) is hopeful of increasing supplies to the power sector by 4% year-on-year to 610 million tonne to meet the demand for coal-fired plants.
The 610-MT target is 23.4 MT more or 4% higher than the record ever 586.6 MT that CIL supplied to power plants in FY23, the coal miner said in a stock exchange filing on Wednesday.
