Non-coking coal imports stood at 152.3 MT during the 11-month period, down from 160.6 MT in the corresponding period of FY 2023–24. Similarly, coking coal imports dropped to 49.7 MT from 51.9 MT recorded a year earlier.

For February 2025 alone, total coal imports declined to 18.10 MT from 21.64 MT in February 2024. On a month-on-month basis, this represents a 15.3 per cent drop from January 2025’s import volume of 21.4 MT. Non-coking coal imports in February 2025 were recorded at 11.1 MT, compared to 13.8 MT in the year-ago month, while coking coal imports fell to 3.8 MT from 4.6 MT.

mjunction MD & CEO Mr. Vinaya Varma noted that the reduction in imports was anticipated. “There was a dip in import volumes which was in line with market expectations. The high stockpile in the system has reduced the appetite for imported materials. We expect this trend to continue till demand for power picks up with the onset of summer,” he stated.

Meanwhile, India’s domestic coal production showed strong growth, reaching 928.95 MT during the April–February period of FY 2024–25, a notable rise from 878.55 MT produced in the same period the previous fiscal.

The Ministry of Coal highlighted that this robust output reflects India’s ongoing commitment to energy security and industrial progress. The government, it stated, remains focused on infrastructure development and enhancing operational efficiencies to maintain this positive momentum in the coming months.
