Coal India Aims to Boost Coking Coal Supply
Coal India, the biggest coal company, wants to sell more coking coal to steelmakers because they see a future demand for coal.
India has a lot of coal, but not much of the specific type (coking coal) needed to make steel, so it has to import it.
Coal India is investing to make sure there's enough coal for the country and to look at different uses, like making gas from coal.
They are aiming to supply the coal to the country to meet energy needs, aiming for a large increase in how much coal they sell.
Coal India plans to offer more coking coal to the steel sector.
CIL aims to tap the potential future market for coal consumption.
India's coal reserves are mostly non-coking grade.
CIL's coal off-take target for this year is 900 mt.
The company has a capital expenditure of ₹16,000 crore for this fiscal.
