Jharkhand: Coal India subsidiaries witness growth

Coal India subsidiaries — Central Coalfields Limited and Bharat Coking Coal Limited — headquartered in Jharkhand have improved their performance during the fiscal 2021-22 that ended March 31.

“CCL recorded its highest-ever coal production as well as dispatch during the just-ended financial year (2021-22),” CMD P.M. Prasad told reporters in Ranchi on Friday, adding the company produced 68.85 million tonnes (MT) of coal and recorded a 10 per cent growth over last year’s production while it dispatched 71.68 MT of coal, registering an average 4 per cent growth in rake loading.

“These achievements are more important, considering the post-Covid challenges and growing demand for coal faced by the company,” Prasad said.
