New Delhi: State-owned Coal IndiaNSE 0.63 % suffered an average daily production hit of 56 per cent during the three-day strike by workers against the government’s move to open the sector to private players, an official said.

The coal workers were on strike from Thursday to Saturday in protest against the government’s move to open the coal sector for commercial mining.
