New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Despite adverse climatic conditions that challenged mining operations, India has registered 5.85 per cent growth in coal production in the current fiscal to date, further highlighting the sector’s efficiency and preparedness.
From April 1 till September 12, the Ministry of Coal achieved a remarkable upswing in coal production, reaching a provisional figure of 411.62 million tonnes (MT).
This marks a significant increase from the 388.86 MT produced during the same period last year, reflecting a commendable growth rate.
As of September 12, the coal stock held by coal companies has surged to 76.49 MT, showcasing an impressive annual growth rate of 49.07 per cent.

This growth is even more notable given the interruptions in mining activities in CIL subsidiaries due to heavy rains.
