English term or phrase: of 40 million pounds to the total amount of 200 million pounds

Are the words: "...of 40 million pounds to the total amount of 200 million pounds of metal" grammatically correct?

Full sentence:
We hereby would like to propose a request to increase the production capacity of COIN of 40 million pounds to the total amount of 200 million pounds of metal

The true meaning: COIN would increase its production capacity. The increment number is 40 million pounds, to make the total/final amount of 200 million pounds.

Thanks!
