State-owned CIL chief Pramod Agrawal has said that the coal behemoth should aim at providing electricity to the county at “just price” as 80 per cent of the company’s supplies is directed towards coal-based power plants.
Coal India (CIL) accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal supply and three quarters of the country’s power generation is coal-based.
In a recent message to its employees, Agrawal who is the chairman and managing director of CIL said that “our role is to supply assured energy at affordable costs”.
Stating that as there is a sizeable scope for energy expansion in the country for the next few decades, he said that the company has a greater responsibility to shoulder.
