New rail links will let Coal India increase supply by 15 million tonnes per year

Coal India Ltd.'s coal stockpiles are set to rise by 15 million tonnes annually as three new rail projects linked to high-capacity mines near completion, The Economic Times reported May 22, citing company executives.

The additional supply could fuel almost 4,000 MW of power plants annually and comes amid increased demand for power during the summer cooling season.

The new rail links will benefit mines belonging to Coal India's subsidiaries, including Central Coalfields Ltd., Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd. and South Eastern Coalfields Ltd.

Coal India's production in the 12 months that ended in March reached 567.4 million tonnes, the Times said, citing provisional data on the company's website.
