Coal ministry to pull up CIL for missing production targets in Q1

Wednesday, 12 Oct 2011

PTI reported that Coal India Limited has blamed its failure to keep to production targets in Q1 this fiscal on rains and delays in securing green clearances, but the Indian coal ministry is in no mood for excuses and has called a meeting this week on the issue, where it is likely to berate the Navratna PSU's top brass.

An official in the coal ministry said “Coal India will be pulled up for missing its output target in the production target review meeting to be held this week.”

The meeting, to be chaired by Indian coal minister Mr Sriprakash Jaiswal, will be attended by officials of the coal ministry, CIL CMD Mr NC Jha and the CMDs of all the subsidiaries of CIL.

CIL had blamed early rains and inclement weather in the eastern region for playing spoilsport in achieving its 98.7 million tonne coal production target for the first quarter. In addition, a plethora of problems like delays in the grant of green clearances for its projects hurt production by CIL, which missed the April-June target by 2.4 million tonnes.
