Coal India Production Rises 19 Percent in October

Coal India's total production grew about 19 percent year-on-year to 67.2 million tonnes in October as mining activities recovered from the monsoon slump.

Supplies to the power sector and overall monthly supplies both surged 19 percent to record highs of 57.1 million tonnes and 70.3 million tonnes respectively.

The state-owned miner loaded an average of 310 rakes per day to power plants during the month to augment stocks amid rising electricity demand.
