Coal India posts record Q2 despatch to power utilities
Kolkata: Amid soaring coal demand and depleting stocks at coal-fired power plants, Coal India (CIL) supplied 117.6 million tonne (MT) to power utilities during July-September’21 quarter, the highest for Q2 of any year, posting 12.3% growth, claimed the Maharatna PSU in a statement.
“This is a volume jump of 13 MT compared to 104.7 MT in the same quarter last year. The growth is even higher at 17.2% when matched against 100.3 MT of the Covid-free second quarter of FY’20,” said CIL.
According to the PSU behemoth, CIL’s total off-take shot up to 147.3 MT at the quarter ending September 21 which is 9.7% more compared to the comparable quarter of last year when the off-take was 134.3 MT.
