Coal India registers record 160 MT output in Apr-Jun this fiscal
State-owned Coal India on Friday said its coal production increased 29 per cent year-on-year to a record 159.8 million tonne (MT) in April-June this fiscal.
It had produced 124 MT coal in the year-ago period, Coal India Limited (CIL) said in a statement.
“CIL ended April-June FY23 capping a historic high of 29 per cent. CIL produced 159.8 MT of coal, which is 35.8 MT more than the 124 MT in April-June FY22. All the coal companies of CIL have registered growth,” the company said.
Such growth was never witnessed in any Q1 since CIL’s inception. The company’s first-quarter production surge of nearly 36 MTs surpassed the entire annual increase of 26.4 MT of FY22, a senior company official said in the statement. Increased production enables better stock build-up, it added.
