Hyderabad. IndustrialPunch : Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Buddhaprakash Jyoti has directed officials to take all necessary measures to increase coal production at the company’s Naini Coal Block in Odisha and achieve the annual production targets.
During a special review meeting held on Saturday evening with the company’s Directors and senior officials, the CMD particularly emphasised the need to accelerate overburden (OB) removal to create conditions for higher coal production.
20,000 Tonnes of Coal Supply Target Per Day
Highlighting the potential impact of El Niño conditions on power generation and electricity demand, Dr. Jyoti said that the Naini mine should ensure a coal supply of at least 20,000 tonnes per day to meet the state’s electricity requirements.
He directed officials to take special measures to strengthen both coal production and transportation so that the targeted quantity could be supplied consistently.
The CMD also stressed that faster overburden removal would open up additional mining areas and create opportunities to increase coal production. He instructed the concerned departments to prioritise the necessary operational measures.

During the meeting, Naini Mine General Manager Sri Vaidya presented an overview of the mine’s current coal production, transportation, overburden removal and other operational activities.
