Coal India’s subsidiary Eastern Coalfields is targeting a production of 9-10 million tonnes from the current level of 7 million tonnes through underground mining in the next four years with an investment of Rs 1,000-1,100 crore. In a bid to achieve the production target, the company hopes longwall mining technology rollout at its Janjra mine in the current fiscal will play an important role.
Coal India is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
