Coal Import for Blending Slashes 44% Despite Surging Power Generation

India has witnessed a substantial 44 per cent reduction in coal imports specifically for blending purposes, even as the nation experiences a notable upswing in power generation. This decline reflects a significant shift in the country's energy landscape, showcasing a reduced dependency on imported coal for blending purposes in power generation.

The remarkable drop in coal import for blending aligns with India's efforts to enhance energy security and reduce reliance on external sources for its power needs. The concurrent surge in domestic power generation indicates the success of these endeavours, with a growing emphasis on utilising indigenous coal resources.

This shift in the energy paradigm underscores India's strides towards self-sufficiency and sustainability in the power sector. The decline in coal imports for blending not only contributes to economic resilience but also aligns with global efforts to mitigate carbon emissions by promoting the use of domestic coal resources.

As India continues to make strides in its energy transition, the reduction in coal imports for blending stands as a testament to the nation's commitment to optimising domestic resources and fostering a more sustainable and self-reliant energy future.
