What production target has been set for Coal India for 2026-27?
- A.768 MT
- B.800 MT
- C.815 MT
- D.850 MT
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 815 MT. That is the quantity of coal the company has been asked to mine in 2026-27. Option A, 768 MT, is the output it actually achieved in 2025-26, so it is the base from which the new target was set and not the target itself, a swap that is easy to make under examination pressure. Options B and D are round figures placed on either side of the correct one, and neither is the number on record. The scale of the target is best seen against the beginning: the company mined 79 MT in its opening year of operations after being set up on 1 November 1975, so output has grown close to ten times over five decades. Its record month of October 2026, with production of 67.2 MT and total despatch of 70.3 MT, is a step towards the annual figure.
