>Coal India mined 452.2 million tonnes of coal in the complete financial year of 2012-13. This is nearly 12 million tonnes less than the output target set for the public sector miner.
On February 15, Business Line had reported that >Coal India may fall short of nearly 12 million tonnes (mt) from its annual production target of 464.10 mt.
The miner achieved nearly 97 per cent of its target and reported 3.8 per cent growth in production when compared to the previous year.
However, to the relief of the customers, offtake mark up to 99 per cent of the target. Coal India delivered 465.2 mt of fuel to its customers against the target of 470 mt. This is 7.4 per cent higher than 2011-12.
The dip in production is because during the October-November period heavy rains and cyclone Neelam pulled down the output.
Besides, October-November are also festival months when most of the workers go on leave, official sources said.
