In an engaging conversation with students at the PB Siddhartha College of Arts and Science on Monday, P.M. Prasad, the chairman and managing director (CMD) of Coal India Limited (CIL), stated that India is headed in the right direction towards achieving energy security.
He continued, "We are putting a lot of effort into achieving this aim. According to Mr. Prasad, efforts are being made to enhance the quality of coal and creative approaches to coal distribution, exploration, and extraction are being developed.
According to him, they have also started taking steps to meet Net Zero emission goals, restore field areas that were affected by coal mining, and use sustainable business practices.
“Despite being the second largest producer of coal, we are importing it from other countries because it is not sufficient. We are working towards reducing the imports,” he said, adding that the country is lagging behind in explorations and needs to set aside more funds to explore new reserves.
