Rainfall caused decline in September coal output at CIL: G Kishan Reddy

Coal and mines minister G Kishan Reddy on Thursday said that rainfall disrupted mining activity in September, and it led to a decline in production by public sector coal producer CIL. However, the minister made it clear that there was no shortage of coal in the country. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of ICC's Annual Plenary Session, the minister said that in September Coal India Ltd's (CIL) production declined because of rains. CIL accounts for over 80 per cent of the country's coal production. According to industry experts, heavy rains and waterlogging during monsoon create operational difficulties in coal mining, resulting in drop in coal production.
