On Saturday night, MCL, which operates mining activities in the Odisha districts of Angul, Jharsuguda, and Sundergarh, celebrated reaching the 200 MT milestone.
The Chairman and Managing Director of MCL, Uday Anant Kaole, complimented each and every employee as well as the affiliated agencies. “It is with great pleasure that I announce this remarkable milestone of 200 million tonnes of coal produced.
