JSW keeps coal output of 15.4 mln tonnes in 2018

WSE-listed coal miner JSW confirmed its plan to produce 15.4 million tonnes of coal in 2018, despite the previously reported risk of reducing coal production by up to 380,000 tonnes, JSW CEO Daniel Ozon said. The risk was related to the accident in Zofiówka, which occurred in May. In March JSW announced the plan to produce 15.4 million tonnes of coal and 3.6 million tonnes of coke. In 2017 JSW coal output was 14.8 million tonnes, coke output amounted to 3.5 million tonnes.
