Coal India Ltd (CIL) hopes to increase its annual production by 10-20 million tonnes this fiscal.

The increase will be after getting clearances from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, A K Dubey, Chairman and Managing Director, CIL, said here on Wednesday.

"Production is likely to go up between 10 million tonnes and 20 million tonnes following approval from the MoEF for incremental mining," Dubey told reporters on the sidelines of the company's 40th annual general meeting.
