Recently, a World Bank report said India is still facing challenges to meet its growing demand for power and reliable supply remains low in the country.

Last year, CIL said it would put on offer a little over 45 MT coal under the special forward e-auction mechanism in 2018-19.

In an attempt to reach out to its consumers, CIL had earlier announced a special forward e-auction calendar for 2018-19 to facilitate power plants to systematically plan the lifting of coal.

Coal India accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output. The PSU produced 606.9 MT coal in 2018-19 against 567.4 MT in 2017-18.
