SECL, the largest coal producing subsidiary of Coal India Ltd (CIL), produced 150.50 MT of coal in fiscal 2019-20, contributing over 25 percent of CIL’s total coal output.
Coal demand is rising daily and CIL has set an ambitious target of producing 1 billion tonne of coal by FY 2023-24. SECL will have a significant share in this huge target.
In this context, SECL is surging ahead by massively upgrading mining technology.
A large number of Heavy Earth Moving Machines (HEMM) are being procured and deployed in SECL mines, including the Gevra and Kusmunda Open Cast Mines.
The Gevra, Kusmunda and Dipka Open Cast Mines are the mega projects of SECL and have a huge bearing on its annual coal production.
