The higher supplies have also helped CIL liquidate around 55 MT of pithead coal stocks during the first five months of the current financial year. The company currently has around 76 MT of coal available at its pitheads, providing inventory support for power generation requirements in the coming months.

With the monsoon gradually receding and drier months approaching, CIL is preparing to ramp up both coal production and supplies in the coming period.
