Bhubaneswar, Jan 8 : Coal India Ltd would cross the 650 million tonne production mark during financial year 2020-21, Chairman Pramod Agrawal said on Friday.
Coal India produced 405 million tonne coal by the third financial quarter ending December 31, 2020, which has a contribution of 101.8 million tonne from Odisha-based Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL).
The CIL chief said there is need to produce more coal as demand for dry fuel is expected to rise post-Covid-19 pandemic.
Agrawal, who was on a day-long visit to the MCL’s Talcher coalfields, inspected mining and coal evacuation operations there.
