On the sidelines of the 39th Meeting of the Standing Committee on Safety in Coal Mines held in New Delhi on Friday, Union Minister for Power and Coal Piyush Goyal spoke to SCCL Chairman and Managing Director N Sridhar to learn about the company’s plans in view of the CIL grand plan of enhancing coal production from 500 MT to 1,000 MT by 2019-20.
