Coal India Ltd (CIL) is ready to diversify into non-coal mining areas as well as make significant investments in clean technology in 2021. This action was followed after demand for dry fuel remained paused in this year. The government opened up the country’s mining sector for private enterprises by auctioning 19 blocks. CIL will make investments in renewable energy and focus on aluminium and clean coal technology. CIL is stressing on achieving a target of one billion tons of production till 2023-24.
