On Sunday, the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) unveiled its ambitious plan to achieve a coal production target of 40 million metric tonnes (MMT) from its owned mines by the fiscal year 2024–2025. This target, outlined in an official statement by NTPC, aims to drive a significant 17% annual growth in captive coal output.
According to NTPC’s announcement, the objective for FY25 is to achieve a coal production of 40 MMT from its owned mines, which will account for over 15% of the coal requirement for that fiscal year. This move is expected to enhance fuel security for the power giant.

According to the statement, these measures have played a pivotal role in streamlining processes, boosting output, and ensuring worker safety.
