New Delhi, July 2: India’s coal production increased by 14.9 per cent year-on-year to 17.88 million tonnes in June, reflecting continued growth in domestic coal output and stable supply momentum across the sector.
The rise in production highlights improved mining operations and sustained demand from key consuming sectors, particularly power generation and industry. Officials noted that the growth trend is aligned with ongoing efforts to strengthen domestic coal availability and reduce supply constraints.
Industry observers said the increase in output underscores steady operational performance across coal-producing regions, supported by better logistics and enhanced mining efficiency.
With demand for energy remaining firm, coal production is expected to play a crucial role in maintaining supply stability in the coming months.
Overall, the June performance indicates continued resilience in India’s coal sector amid evolving energy requirements.
