DREAMING BIG

摘要

Coal India Limited (CIL) dreams of producing one-billion tons of coal a year by 2020, and, as the sixth-largest miner in the world, having big dreams is not unusual. However, if past performance is seen as an indicator of future performance, then it has a lot of sceptics to prove wrong. "CIL's major challenge is to meet the rising demand from the power sector... and this is how the dream of achieving the one-billion-tons-a-year coal production [target] began," the miner states in its Roadmap for Enhancement of Coal Production.
