Coal India’s subsidiary Central Coalfields has reported a growth of 24.5% in coal dispatch to 32.4 million tonnes from April to September this year, as against the 26 million tonnes during the same period last fiscal. In September, coal production grew by 15%.
While rake loading till September stood at 5513, an 8% growth over the same period last year, dispatch to power houses saw an 18% jump in these six months to 24.5 million tonnes.
Numbers, however, come on a low base. Rajdhar Line I and II and Charhi Goods Shed have been added during the last three months to augment supplies and ease logistics bottlenecks.
Coal India (CIL) is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
