State-owned CIL today posted 3.2 per cent rise in coal output at 38.8 million tonnes (MT) for the month of August.
The company's coal output was at 37.59 million tonnes (MT) in August, 2017, Coal India said in a filing to BSE.
The company's April-August output increased by 11.9 per cent to 216.23 MT, over 193.12 MT, the filing said.
Coal India accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output.
CIL had earlier said that there was an urgent need to revisit its one billion tonnes output programme following changes in the environmental paradigm and coal demand.
The government had earlier set a target of 1 billion tonnes of coal output by FY2019-20 for Coal India.
