CIL's supplies have hit 1.64 million tonnes (mt) per day against 1.43 mt supplied in a similar period during April 2021.

The company increased its production to 26.4 mt during the first half of April 2022, registering 27% year-on-year (YoY) growth. CIL is heading towards its highest April production ever. The output expansion in volume terms was 5.7 mt.

CIL has made available an additional 8.75 mt of coal to the state and Central generation companies (Gencos) for lifting through rail-cum-road (RCR) till 31 May. From this, 3.25 mt is the unlifted quantity of the earlier RCR, and 5.5 mt is the new round of RCR.

CIL is coordinating with the ministries of coal, power, and railways to stock up at power plants in a synergic effort. The company's supplies are increasing. The pressure will ease if the imported coal-based power plants meet their requisite imports this year.

CIL is a coal mining firm engaged in producing and sale of coal. As of 31 December last year, the central government held a 66.13% stake, while Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of India held an 11.01% stake in CIL.
