NLC India Ltd has commenced production from its coal mines in Odisha having a production capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum.
The Talabira II and III coal mines were allotted to the Navratna firm in 2016 to meet the requirement of its existing and future coal-fired power plants.
“By achieving success on this project during the difficult time of COVID-19 lockdown situation, our team has not only helped the company on its growth path but also contributed for energy security of the country especially when avoiding import of coal is the top most priority,” NLC India Ltd Chairman Cum Managing Director Rakesh Kumar has said in a statement.
