Out of the total production of 147.2 MT, the power sector captive mines produced around 121.3 MT, captive mines of the non-power sector produced 8.4 MT
During 2020-22, production from the captive mines jumped by 38.5 per cent while CIL saw a tepid growth of 3.4 per cent, according to government data
Though coal production from the captive mine has started, the fuel could not be reached to the thermal power plant due to evacuation bottlenecks, forcing OCPL to stop mining, the official said
The govt will be soon introducing the proposed amendment in Parliament
