South Eastern Coalfields dispatches 100 million tonnes

31 Oct 2023 2 Min Read CW Team
The Coal India subsidiary, South Eastern Coalfields (SECL), announced that they had achieved a coal dispatch of 100 million tonnes for the fiscal year 2023-24. It was noted that this accomplishment marked the fastest 100 MT coal dispatch ever achieved by the Chhattisgarh-based company since its establishment. In the preceding year, SECL had dispatched approximately 85 million tonnes of coal during the same period, indicating a notable growth of 17.65% in the current financial year.

It was revealed that over 80% of the total coal dispatch, which amounted to around 81 million tonnes, was supplied to the power sector, serving various power plants across the nation. This achievement was particularly significant considering the upcoming festival season, during which the demand for power was expected to reach its peak.

The success in reaching the 100 million tonnes milestone was attributed to the substantial contributions from SECL's mega projects, namely Gevra, Dipka, and Kusmunda, located in the Korba district. Gevra, recognised as the largest coal mine in the country, contributed 30.3 MT, while Dipka and Kusmunda added 19.1 MT and 25.1 MT of coal respectively. Collectively, these three mega projects accounted for more than 74% of the total coal dispatch.

Additionally, SECL's Korea Rewa coalfield, housing several old and underground mines, significantly enhanced coal dispatch by 20% compared to the previous year, making a noteworthy contribution to the overall achievement.

SECL, a prominent coal-producing subsidiary of Coal India, had a historical coal production record of 167 MT in the fiscal year 22-23, accounting for approximately one-fourth of CIL?s total coal production. This year, the company aimed to produce 197 MT of coal, setting an ambitious target for its production efforts.
