India’s coal production and dispatch witnessed steady growth in April 2025, compared to the same period last year. This reflects the continued efforts of the Ministry of Coal and its subsidiaries to ensure consistent supply and operational stability in the sector.

The overall coal production in India during April 2025 reached 81.57 MT (Provisional), marking an increase over the 78.71 MT produced in the corresponding period of the previous year. Production from Captive/Other entities mines during April 2025 in FY 2025-26 stood at 14.51 MT (Provisional), registering a significant rise from 11.46 MT recorded during the same period last year. This surge highlights the growing contribution of captive mining to India’s overall coal output.

India’s total coal dispatch during April 2025 reached 86.64 MT (Provisional), demonstrating a steady increase from 85.11 MT recorded during April 2024 in FY 2025-26.

As on 30.04.2025, the coal stock held by coal companies witnessed a notable surge, reaching 125.76 MT in FY 2025-26, as compared to 102.41 MT during the corresponding period of the previous year. At Coal India Limited (CIL) alone, the total coal stock stood at 105 MT in FY 2025-26, marking a 22.10% growth over the 86.60 MT recorded during the same period last year. This surge reflects an impressive annual growth rate of 22.8% underscoring the robust performance and efficiency of the coal sector.

The Ministry of Coal remains committed to achieving sustainable growth, improving coal availability, and reducing dependence on imports. With the positive momentum, the coal sector continues to play a pivotal role in powering India's growth story.
