India’s Coal Output Surpasses 100 Million Tonnes


India has successfully surpassed 100 million tonnes (MT) of coal output from its captive and commercial mines, reaching the milestone 100 days ahead of its target. This achievement is a significant boost to the country’s coal production capacity, addressing rising demand in various sectors, including power generation, and reducing dependency on imports.

The surge in coal output highlights the government's efforts to boost domestic coal production, improve mining infrastructure, and streamline regulatory processes to enhance the sector’s efficiency. The increase in production is also in line with India’s commitment to meeting the energy needs of its growing economy while reducing reliance on coal imports.

This achievement comes at a critical time as the country seeks to strengthen its energy security and ensure a stable supply of coal to its industries. The government has set an ambitious target to continue increasing output and to further modernize mining operations to ensure sustainable growth in the sector.
