The production goal for April-July was 168 mt, Coal India said in a filing to the BSE today.
Production in July was 36.6 mt as against the target of 37.6 mt. The offtake of coal by CIL during April-July stood at 181.6 mt compared to the stipulated 194 mt.
Coal India, which accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal production, is eyeing 1 billion tonne output by 2020.
The government had earlier said there were no plans to cut down coal output because of hardening demand.
