"coal-production"

Company Chairman and Managing Director N Balram during a recent meeting with the workers expressed serious concern over the high cost of coal production and asked officials to find solutions to bring it down.

Managing Director N Balram said there were certain SOPs (Safe Operating Procedures) prescribed for every job, and due to not following them properly, there were accidents in the mines.

Sources say due to heavy rain about 80 percent of the coal production in the various opencast mines of the company has come to a standstill as it has become difficult to use heavy machinery.

Irrigation officials have lifted 12 gates to discharge 16, 698 cusecs of excess water downstream on Wednesday.

Authorities of the coal major said that the opencast projects were filled with rainwater, affecting the operations of coal mining in Srirampur and Mandamarri Areas from Tuesday midnight till Wednesday morning.

Srirampur Area General Manager B Sanjeeva Reddy formally inaugurated two Side Discharge Loaders (SDL) at RK5 and RK6 underground mines in Srirampur on Monday.

The company had set a target of producing 72 million tonnes of coal during the current financial year, says Managing Director N Balram.

Srirampur Area registered an actual output of 4.49 lakh metric tonnes of coal as against the target of 5.34 lakh metric tonnes in June.

With 14 days left to achieve the annual production targets, the record coal production would encourage workers to achieve the annual production target of 700 lakh tonnes.

The growth in coal production reflects the heightened efficiency and a strong logistics network that is helping to ensure India's energy security and reducing the nation's reliance on imported coal.

Kothagudem area would play a major role in the development of the company by achieving coal production and transportation with highest safety standards, the GM hoped.

Balram, who reviewed the coal production with senior officials of the company on Friday, said if the coal production could be maintained at 2.3 lakh tonnes per day the target could be easily achieved.
