India’s coal sector has achieved a historic milestone, surpassing 1 billion tonnes (BT) in cumulative production for the financial year 2024-25, highlighting the Ministry of Coal’s sustained efforts to boost production, streamline dispatches, and enhance energy security.

Total coal production for FY 2024-25 has reached 1,047.57 million tonnes (MT) (provisional), reflecting a 4.99% growth over the 997.83 MT recorded in FY 2023-24. The Commercial & Captive segment also saw a sharp increase, producing 197.50 MT (provisional), a 28.11% rise from the 154.16 MT recorded in the previous year.

Coal dispatches have also exceeded 1 billion tonnes, reaching 1,024.99 MT (provisional) in FY 2024-25, up 5.34% from 973.01 MT in FY 2023-24. Dispatches from Commercial & Captive entities surged 31.39%, reaching 196.83 MT (provisional) compared to 149.81 MT in the previous year.
