Coal India unit North Eastern Coalfields seeks clearances to operationalise 2 Assam mines in FY23
Coal India NSE 2.21 % unit North Eastern Coalfields is in the process of seeking clearances for putting into operation two of its mines in Assam in the current financial year. The development assumes significance in the wake of efforts being made to avoid the reoccurrence of power outages faced by the country at the beginning of the summer season this year due to the shortage of coal supplies.
According to a senior official, once production starts from Tirap OCP (open cast project) of North Eastern NSE 5.39 % Coalfields in Assam, the mine will add 0.6 million tonnes (MT) of coal supplies.
