The land acquisition value at 608 crores accounted for nearly one-fifth of the Q1 total CAPEX basket. This is close to 2.3 times of Rs 268 crore spent under this head during April-June 2021-22.
“The CAPEX increase came from spending on land and strengthening transport infrastructure in our coalfields under first-mile connectivity (FMC) projects. These two vital areas help CIL expand its mining operations for accelerated production and pair it with seamless transportation of coal,” a senior company official said.
