Government targets 10% cut in coal imports by FY26

The government is targeting a reduction in overall coal imports to 10 percent by FY26, with domestic coal production showing positive figures. One of the sources mentioned, "The government's strategy is to decrease the overall coal import to 16 percent by FY25 and further down to 10 percent by FY26.

This will primarily involve substituting imported coal with domestic alternatives." The Ministry of Coal had reported a 36.69 percent decline in coal imported for blending by the power sector, dropping to 19.36 MT during the April-January period from 30.58 MT in the corresponding period of the previous year, as per the information released a day ago.
