New Delhi [India], March 21 (ANI): The country has successfully achieved the landmark of 1 billion tonne (BT) coal production on March 20 for the second year in a row, according to an official press release issued by the Ministry of Coal.
With the sustained and coordinated efforts across the coal sector and the invaluable contribution of all stakeholders, this significant milestone underscores India's growing self-reliance in the energy sector and its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply to key industries.
This enhanced and sustained coal production level has enabled the country to effectively meet rising energy demands while supporting the power sector in maintaining record-high coal stock levels at coal-based thermal power plants, the release said.
The achievement reflects robust planning, efficient execution, and strengthened coordination across the coal value chain, thereby contributing meaningfully to the nation's economic growth trajectory.
