State-owned Coal India Ltd, the world’s largest coal miner, is expected to raise its production to 660 million tonnes in 2017\/18 fiscal year, the coal secretary said on Friday. <\/p>\n
The miner is expected to achieve its 2016\/17 production target of 575 million tonnes and aims to raise output to 1 billion tonnes by 2020, Susheel Kumar told television news channel CNBC-TV18 in an interview. <\/p>\n
With coal accounting for about 70 percent of India’s power generation, the country is the world’s third-biggest producer and importer of the fuel, and government wants to boost domestic output to cut imports. <\/p>\n
Coal India, however, has failed to meet its output targets for years due to several reasons including strikes, accidents and protests. <\/p>\n
During April-December, Coal India produced 378 million tonnes, lagging behind its target for this financial year ending in March.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
