Coal production and coal off-take by Coal India Limited (CIL), the state sector coal mining company, grew by 8.8% and 9.8% respectively during April-November 2015 on a year-on-year comparison.
The coal mining monolith increased its production by almost 26 Million Tonnes during April-November 2015, compared to same period in the previous fiscal, continuing its upward swing in production. The impetus laid on off-take also paid results as the volume increase in coal off-take during the period has been 30.44 Million Tonnes.
CIL, as a whole, produced 321.38 Million Tonnes of coal during April-November 2015 against 295.40 Million Tonnes last year, the same period growth being 8.8%. Almost all the coal producing subsidiaries of CIL registered positive growth in production.
Coal off-take was 341.13 Million Tonnes during April-November 2015, compared to 310.70 Million Tonnes in the same period last year, registering a growth of 9.8%.
“After steadying the growth in the twin performance parameters of production and off-take, our aim is to supply quality coal to our consumers. Sizing, washing and grade matching our coal supply are primary tasks before us,” said a senior company official.
Coal stock inventory at coal-fired power utilities of the country is also at comfortable levels. As of November 2015, there was not a single power utility in the country at super critical level and only 1 at critical level, with coal stocks at thermal power stations at a comfortable level of around 27 Million Tonnes which is 21 days coal stock.
