Coal India on Monday said it has supplied 3 million tonnes (MT) of coal more than its target supply to the power sector by October 15 for the financial year 2023-24.
“CIL’s targeted commitment was 316 MT to the power sector till October 15 of FY2024 against which the company’s supplies were ahead by 3 MT at 319 MT. CIL is confident of meeting the tasked target to the power sector,” the public sector miner said.
This statement comes at a time there are concerns over fast-depleting coal stocks at thermal power plants amid rising electricity demand.
