CHN Energy Xinjiang Energy Co., Ltd, a subsidiary of state-run China Energy Investment Corporation, shipped 4.21 million tonnes more coal in January-May to areas outside the region compared with the year-ago level, showed data from the company.
The coal railings posted a year-on-year growth of 3.24 million tonnes during the same period.
Xinjiang has climbed the ladder to the fourth-largest coal production province in China in recent several years, as it put great efforts into promoting long-distance road-to-rail coal transportation to expand its supply radius as far as possible.
Xinjiang coal now has reached more than 10 provinces and cities across the country besides the original market in northwestern and southwestern areas, including Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Guizhou.
