    Solution

    The Gevra and Kusmunda mines are located in the Korba district of Chhattisgarh and together produce over 100 million tons of coal annually, contributing to about 10% of India's total coal production. The Gevra mine started operations in 1981, while there is no specific start year mentioned for Kusmunda in the provided information, so option A is incorrect. The Gevra mine has an annual production capacity of 70 million tons, not 50 million tons, making option B incorrect. The Kusmunda mine produced over 50 million tons in FY 23-24, not 70 million tons, making option C incorrect. SECL CMD Dr. Prem Sagar Mishra acknowledged the contributions of various stakeholders, including the Coal Ministry, making option E incorrect.
