Dilip Buildcon Targets Doubling Coal Output by FY29
Dilip Buildcon wants to produce twice as much coal by fiscal year 2029.
It is increasing its focus on mining.
Mining can make more money than conventional EPC work.
However, mining requires more investment and works differently.
The company says higher profits are not the only reason for this strategy.
It also wants longer-term contracts.
These contracts could make its future cash flows more predictable.
The comments were made by Jain.
