Coal India Ltd.

Mahanadi Coalfields, a unit of Coal India, has resumed operations at three of its mines in Odisha state that were shut on July 11, as locals protested its plan to relocate them to make way for planned mine expansion. The mines, which produce 100,000 tonne of coal per day and contribute to a third of Mahanadi's total output, resumed operations after police acted against the demonstrators. Mahanadi had forecast a 15% rise in production to 127 million tonne for this fiscal year ending March 31 2015.

Recently, Coal India started production at its 12 million tonne per annum (MTPA) coal mine in Jharkhand. The Jharkhand project is said to be one of the major mining projects in the recent few years.

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.
