Coal India production rises 14% during April-Feb this fiscal

State-owned CIL produced 619.7 million tonnes (MT) in the April-February period of the current fiscal, registering a year-on-year growth of 14.3 per cent. The maharatna firm had produced 542 MT of coal in the year-ago period.

“This is a 100 per cent achievement against progressive target. With a quantum gain of 77.3 MT CIL is well on its way to breach the production target of 700 MT of FY’23,” Coal India Ltd (CIL) said in a statement.

All the subsidiaries of the coal behemoth have logged growth over previous year.

The Dhanbad-based Bharat Coking Coal Ltd has already wrapped up its annual production target of 32 MT on 27 February.
