output target of FY 2024 with all efforts and means available at its disposal”. He added
“on supply side ensuring uninterrupted coal flow to the power sector is another
priority area”.
Before donning the mantle of CIL’s top post he led the Jharkhand based Central
Coalfields Limited – a CIL arm - to its production target achievement in FY 2023. Mr.
Prasad a three and half decade coal mining veteran is a post-graduate in mining
engineering from Indian School of Mines IIT Dhanbad. He succeeds Mr. Pramod

Coalfields Limited and served in different capacities across different CIL’s
subsidiaries. He also had a three year stint in NTPC as Executive Director (coal

Bolstering CIL’s 780 MT target chase, production during Q1 FY 2024 shot up to 175.5
MTs, the highest ever recorded during first quarter of any year, with near 10%
growth. Expansion in volume terms was 15.7 MTs which is significant as it came over
a high base of 159.8 MT in similar quarter previous fiscal. Production for the month
of June at 58 MT grew by 6.4 MTs posting a double digit growth of 12.4% compared
to 51.6 MTs in June 2022.
“Output could have been even higher but for the heavy rainfall in the last week of June
across our mining areas”, said a senior executive of CIL.
CIL’s over burden removal (OBR) continues its runaway pace as CIL excavated 497.5
million cubic metres (M.CuM) of OB during April-June 2023 period with the
comparative period growth hovering high at around 30%. “This is an encouraging
signal for us that facilitates faster future production” said the executive.

growth compared to 177.5 MTs of Q1 FY 2022. Volume increase was 9.5 MTs.
