"The Ministry of Coal is continuing all efforts to further enhance coal production and dispatch to meet the increasing power demand in the country due to sustained economic growth and also the seasonal factors," it said.

Meanwhile, the Coal Consumers Association of India (CCAI) has written a letter to the Ministry of Coal seeking relief from the spiralling prices of coal at e-auctions, which has soared by nearly 800 per cent above the notified prices.
"Even as industries struggle to secure the minimum quantities assured to them under fuel supply agreements, CIL is conducting spot e-auctions where spot prices routinely spiralled up to unprecedented levels, putting it out of reach of many consumers who were then forced to purchase less than sufficient quantities," CCAI Secretary General Subhasri Chaudhuri said.
