KHAMMAM: The Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) will promote establishment of ancillary units by the local youth of the coal belt for production of spare parts used by the company in coal production, said SCCL Chairman and Managing Director S Narsing Rao.

Mr Rao unfurled the national flag as part of the Republic Day celebrations held at Prakasam stadium in Kothagudem on Wednesday.

“Thermal power accounts for nearly 81 percent of the total electricity production in the country,” he said and underlined the need for optimum utilisation of the latest technologies in coal mining for meeting the ever increasing demand for coal with a futuristic perspective.

Stating that the company has achieved coal production of 40.3 million tonnes against the set target of 51.3 million tonnes in the current financial year so far, he called upon the coal miners and all the employees of the company to work in tandem to meet the production targets before the stipulated timeframe. He further urged them to make the ongoing campaign of “Plastic-free SCCL” a success.
