MCL is the second largest subsidiary of Coal India in terms of coal output

Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL), which had shut down its six mines in Ib valley region over the weekend following an order of the state steel and mines department, has moved the Supreme Court seeking stay on the government directive. The coal company is particularly encouraged as in a similar case earlier the apex court had granted it relief. MCL is the second largest subsidiary of Coal India Ltd (CIL) in terms of coal output.
