India’s coal imports rise to 90.5 MT amid surge in power demand
New Delhi: India's coal imports during period of the current fiscal (FY25) increased 0.9% to reach 90.51 million tonnes (mt) compared with 89.68mt in same period last fiscal, the coal ministry.
The growth comes amid a surge in power and a 10.18% growth in coal-based power generation in the first four months of this fiscal.
"Increase in coal import for power sector is attributed to the substantial quantity of coal import by imported coal-based power plants i.e. 17.69mt during this period, up from 10.12mt in the corresponding timeframe last year," the statement said.
The ministry, however, noted that despite a notable growth of 10.18% in coal-based power generation same period last year, imports for blending purposes decreased by 8.2% during the same period.
"This decline underscores India’s steadfast commitment to achieving self-sufficiency in coal production and reducing reliance on imports," it said, adding that coal imports by the non-regulated sector saw a significant decline of 11%, falling from 50.53mt to 44.97mt during the same time frame.
Further, non-coking coal imports increased by 2% during this timeframe, while coking coal imports declined by 2.6%. 2024 alone, coal imports rose by 15.9%, reaching 21.81 mt compared with 18.82 mt.
