The coal ministry on Monday said it has plans to produce additional quantity of the dry fuel to ensure sufficient availability for thermal power plants.
Production enhancement measures include opening of new blocks, expansion of mines capacity and production from captive, commercial mines.
“All these three operational components are contributing and have clear plans for further enhancement. The production plans for year 2027 and 2030 will far exceed the likely domestic requirement of thermal power plants in the country, including that for likely additional capacity,” the coal ministry said in a statement.
