Action plan drawn up to achieve year’s coal mining target
Aiming to surpass the annual coal production target in the current fiscal, the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has rolled out an action plan to scale-up coal production by optimally utilising the state-of-the-art technologies like continuous miners to produce around 330 lakh tonnes of coal by March 31, 2022.
Against the stipulated production target of 680 lakh tonnes (68 million tonnes) for 2021-22, the government-owned coal mining giant produced 352 lakh tonnes of coal in the last seven months ending October in this financial year, SCCL sources said.
The SCCL registered a growth of 60% in coal production as compared to the same period last year.
