MUMBAI – Domestic captive and commercial mines produced 15.57 million tonnes of coal in June, resulting in a robust 16.4% on-year rise in production in Apr-Jun at 46.0 million tonnes, the Ministry of Coal said in a release Wednesday. With 17.3 million tonnes of dispatches in June, the dispatch figures for Apr-Jun rose 13.0% to 51.6 million tonnes, it said.
"This reflects improved efficiency and better utilization of mining capacity," the release said.
In June, mine opening permission was granted for Utkal A Mine, having a peak rated capacity of 25 million tonnes. Also, during the month, vesting orders were issued for three coal blocks, raising the total number of coal blocks allocated by the Ministry of Coal to more than 200.
"This increase ensures a reliable supply of coal to key industries such as power generation, steel manufacturing, and cement production, thereby reinforcing the backbone of India's industrial infrastructure. These milestones underscore the Ministry's focused efforts to enhance domestic coal production, contributing significantly to the vision of a resilient and self-sustaining India," said the release.
