Northern Coalfields Ltd (NCL), a subsidiary of Coal India, is on track to achieve its annual production target of 139 million tonnes (MT) for the current fiscal.

As of February, NCL has already produced 128.13 MT, and the company remains optimistic about meeting its full-year goal. “We are hopeful that we will also achieve our annual target,” the company stated.

In the April-February period, NCL dispatched 125.78 MT of coal, reinforcing its critical role in ensuring India's energy security. Nearly 88% of its coal output is supplied to the power sector, contributing 15% to the country’s total coal production and 10% to national power generation.

Beyond coal production, NCL has also launched a first aid training programme for homemakers to promote safety and preparedness within its workforce’s families. “Launched on January 26, the First Aid Training Program for Homemakers, in just one month, has trained about 1,500 homemakers in different sessions held at all projects,” the company stated.

By extending first aid awareness beyond the workplace, NCL aims to foster a primary-care-conscious community, reinforcing a culture of safety and preparedness.
