NEW DELHI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- India's coal production from captive and commercial mines exceeded 100 million tonnes during the first seven months of the current financial year, up 33 percent as compared to the same period of the previous financial year, showed the latest figures released by the federal Ministry of Coal on Saturday.

The ministry further stated that the share of captive and commercial coal mines in India's total coal production had been steadily increasing, reflecting the success of reforms in the coal sector and strengthening the nation's path toward self-sufficiency in energy resources.
