29 Mar 2016
India’s pithead vendible coal stocks rose 10.91% to 54.25 million tons (mt) as on February 29, 2016 from 48.91 mt as on the last day of February 28 2015, according to provisional data available with ICMW.
On a month-on-month basis, the pithead vendible coal stocks were up 12.94% from 48.03 mt recorded as on the last day of January 2015.
The increase in pithead stock was largely on account of a jump in stocks at eight of the coal producing subsidiaries of Coal India Ltd (ECL, BCCL, CCL, NCL, WCL, SECL, MCL and NEC) and also at Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL).
The following table gives detailed break-up of pithead vendible stocks with coal companies as of the last date of the months (April-February) for 2015-16 and on February 29, 2015 (in million tons):
