Coal Output

Gevra Mega project in Chhattisgarh of South Eastern Coalfields (SECL) recently became the first mine in the country to achieve 50 million tonne of coal production annually. The government is currently trying to expand its capacity to achieve 70 million tonne output annually which would make it the largest coal-producing mine in Asia.

Coal India Ltd said today it had breached its annual production target of 700 million tonnes, the first time it had surpassed its goal since the fiscal year that ended in March 2006.

Production of eight infrastructure sectors expanded at a four-month high of 7.8 per cent in January 2023 on better show by coal, fertiliser, steel and electricity segments, according to official data released on Tuesday.

The central government on Monday invoked an emergency law to force power plants that run on imported coal to maximise output ahead of an expected record surge in power usage this summer, according to an internal power ministry notice seen by Reuters.

This annual coal output target by the government is part of the plan to reduce the import of thermal or non-coking coal, used in power generation, in the coming few years.

Crude oil, natural gas and refinery products, however, recorded negative growth in November this year. The production growth of eight key sectors slowed down to 0.9 per cent in October.

Imports fell mainly due to higher production by state-run Coal India, which accounts for 80% of India's coal output.

Production of eight infrastructure sectors expanded by 7.9 per cent in September against 5.4 per cent in the same month last year on better show by coal, fertiliser, cement and electricity segments.

Eight core industries, which include coal, cement, electricity, refinery products, fertilizers, steel, and natural gas, recorded a growth of 12.7 per cent in June against 9.4 per cent in the same month last year, according to official data released on Friday.

Led by healthy growth in coal, crude oil, fertilisers, cement and electricity production, output of eight core industries grew to a 13-month high of 18.1 per cent in May this year, according to official data released on Thursday.

The plan aims to maximize green energy potential and save costs but will not involve shutting down old and expensive power plants.

Amid rising power consumption which has led to a spike in demand for coal, Power Minister R K Singh has sought greater dry fuel production

Large coal-importing nations, including India, will look to ramp up output of domestic coal to lessen dependence on import, says Moody's

India's coal import declined to 209 million tonnes in the financial year ended March 2022 as against 248 million tonnesrecorded in 2019-20
