The total coal production from captive and commercial mines for the financial year 2024-25 has reached 167.36 million tonne (MT) as of February 2025. This marks a 32.53 per cent increase compared to the 126.28 MT produced during the same period in the previous financial year.

Coal dispatch has also seen a substantial rise, with total dispatch reaching 170.66 MT, surpassing the 128.45 MT recorded last year. This reflects a year-on-year growth of 32.86 per cent, ensuring a stable supply to key industries such as power, steel, and cement.

The Bhaskarpara Coal mine, operated by Prakash Industries, began coal production on February 15, 2025. The mine has a Peak Rated Capacity (PRC) of 15 MT, contributing to the overall increase in output.

The coal sector continues to play a crucial role in supporting national energy security, promoting industrial growth, and driving economic development. Efforts are being directed towards enhancing efficiency and sustainability in coal production to meet the growing demand across multiple industries.

In addition to the rise in coal production, the output of eight key infrastructure sectors recorded a 4.6 per cent growth in January 2025, compared to a 4.2 per cent increase in the same month last year. Among these, coal production registered a 4.6 per cent rise in January, with its cumulative index increasing by 6 per cent from April 2024 to January 2025 over the corresponding period in the previous financial year.
