The Coal Ministry is hopeful of achieving more than 150 million tonne of production from captive and commercial coal blocks in the next financial year, against the target of 161 million tonne.
“This (financial) year, we are likely to achieve 112 million tonne, while the target was 120 million tonne (production from captive and commercial blocks). In 2023-24, our target is 161 million tonne for captive/commercial mining. Hopefully, we will be touching somewhere more than 150 million tonne-mark,” coal secretary Amrit Lal Meena said here on Monday.
