MUMBAI – Coal production from captive and commercial mines in India during the first five months of 2025-26 (Apr-Mar) rose nearly 12% on year to 73.92 million tonnes. Dispatches from these mines rose over 9% on year to 81.09 million tonnes in Apr-Aug, the Ministry of Coal said in a release Tuesday. Coal production from captive and commercial mines during August was recorded at 14.43 million tonnes while dispatches reached 15.07 million tonnes, it said.

 

These trends indicate enhanced operational efficiency and more effective utilisation of mining capacity across the sector. The ministry of coal has emphasised its dedication to fully realising the potential of captive and commercial coal mining in India. Moving forward, the priority will be on maintaining consistent production, reducing supply interruptions, and making a substantial contribution to the country's rising energy needs, it said.

 

The ministry attributed the sector's improved performance to a series of strategic policy measures, rigorous monitoring, and consistent support to stakeholders. "These efforts have played a crucial role in accelerating operational approvals and expanding production capabilities, thereby driving overall growth in coal output and dispatches," the ministry said.  End
