Central Coalfield (CCL) has proposed 16 new projects during the 11th Plan period to enhance production.
The proposal would help achieve CCL a production level of 78 million tonne (mt) in the terminal year of 2011-12, CCL sources said here today.
With CCL all set to meet its target of 47 mt coal production this fiscal, it also envisages to produce 115 mt by the end of 12th Plan (2016/17), the sources added.
The Union minister of state for Coal, Santosh Bagrodia has made two visits recently to take stock of the progress and expressed confidence that the CCL would maintain its achievement record this fiscal too.
The CCL has thrice posted profits over Rs 1,000 crore by meeting its production targets -- productivity and profit in the last three fiscal.
In 2008, the company has produced a record production of 44.15 million tonne, the highest since the inception of the public sector.
With an aim to accelerate its record, the public sector is mooting an idea to introduce a single window grievance redressal system in which any employee of the CCL could get their grievances addressed by raising them before the authorities.
