Coal

The supply of coal to the power sector by state-owned CIL registered a decline of 8 per cent to 42.30 million tonne in March in the wake of slump in the fuel demand due to lockdown. CIL dispatched 45.84 million tonne (MT) of coal in the corresponding month of 2018-19.

In 2019-20, the supply of fuel by Coal India Ltd (CIL) to the power sector dropped by 6 per cent to 463 MT as compared to 491.5 MT in 2018-19.
