"Clearly the focus is on higher coal output and increased supplies and there had been a consistent growth both in coal production and supplies to consumers during all the three months of the first quarter," a senior official of Coal India said. Coal India's Q1 coal production surged 15.2% to 136.9 million tonnes, with supplies to power plants growing 15.4% to 122.8 million tonnes. The company said it had received a total of 1.07 billion tonnes from the government for its operations in 2015-16, up by about 1% on last year. Meanwhile, the number of coal-power plants with critical stock halved to 15, the company said.
