State-owned CIL today posted 3.2 percent rise in coal output at 38.8 million tonnes (MT) for the month of August.
The company's coal output was at 37.59 million tonnes (MT) in August 2017, Coal India said in a filing to BSE.
The company's April-August output increased by 11.9 percent to 216.23 MT, over 193.12 MT, the filing said.
Coal India accounts for over 80 percent of domestic coal output.
CIL had earlier said that there was an urgent need to revisit its one billion tonnes output programme following changes in the environmental paradigm and coal demand.
The government had earlier set a target of 1 billion tonnes of coal output by FY2019-20 for Coal India.
