Coal production from commercial and captive mines recorded a robust growth of 34.7% year-on-year in the April-November period of FY 2024-25, according to data released by the Ministry of Coal. Production during the period reached 112.65 million tonnes (MT), up from 83.60 MT in the corresponding period last year.

In November 2024, production from these mines totaled 16.743 MT, with a daily average output of 0.558 MT, marking an impressive 40.9% increase compared to the daily average of 0.396 MT in November 2023.

Coal Dispatch Also Sees Strong Growth

Coal dispatch from captive and commercial mines during April-November reached 119.62 MT, a 33.9% increase from 89.32 MT in the same period last year. In November alone, dispatches stood at 16.109 MT, with a daily average of 0.537 MT, reflecting a 27.6% increase compared to November 2023.

Driving Economic Self-Reliance

The Ministry attributed the growth to strategic government measures aimed at reducing dependency on coal imports and enhancing domestic energy production. “This remarkable surge aligns with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for Viksit Bharat 2047, promoting infrastructure development, economic self-reliance, and global competitiveness through transparent and innovative governance,” the ministry stated.

Implications for India’s Energy Landscape

The significant rise in coal production and dispatch underscores the government’s focus on strengthening domestic energy capabilities. With consistent growth in captive and commercial mining, India is well-positioned to meet rising energy demands, reduce import bills, and bolster industrial development, contributing to a more sustainable and self-reliant future.
