Monthly Production And Dispatch From Captive And Commercial Mines – June 2025
Mine Opening Permission was granted for Utkal A Mine, which has a Peak Rated Capacity of 25 MT
Coal production from captive and commercial mines in the month of June 2025 stood at 15.57 million tonnes (MT), while dispatches were recorded at 17.31 MT, reflecting robust supply chain management and efficient coal evacuation systems.
Strong Q1 Performance
The first quarter of FY 2025–26 has witnessed a significant upswing in performance. Compared to the same period last year, production rose by 16.39% and dispatches increased by 13.03%, underlining better mining efficiency and optimal capacity utilization.
A comparative graph of Q1 performance over the last three years indicates a consistent upward trajectory in both production and dispatches, reinforcing the steady progress of India’s coal sector.
Key Developments in June 2025
- Mine Opening Permission was granted for Utkal A Mine, which has a Peak Rated Capacity of 25 MT. This marks a crucial step toward enhancing coal availability for critical industries.
- Vesting orders were issued for three additional coal blocks, bringing the total number of coal blocks allocated by the Ministry of Coal to over 200. This milestone reflects the government’s ongoing push to unlock India’s vast coal reserves through transparent allocation and accelerated operationalization.
These developments are poised to strengthen coal supply to core sectors such as power generation, steel manufacturing, and cement production, thereby reinforcing the backbone of India’s industrial infrastructure.
The Ministry of Coal remains committed to increasing domestic coal production and reducing reliance on imports, aligning with the broader national vision of a self-reliant and resilient India.
