“Notably, the share of captive and commercial coal mines in India’s total coal production has been steadily increasing, reflecting the success of reforms in the coal sector and strengthening the nation’s path toward self-sufficiency in energy resources,” the government said.

The government is now optimistic of reaching a production target of over 170 million tonnes from captive and commercial mines by the end of this fiscal year.

Overall, the government is confident of producing 1.08 billion tonne of coal during 2024-25, as per official sources.

“This year, we will produce 1,080 million tonne of coal,” a senior official had told FE. “Rake deployment has increased and effective utilisation of rakes is going to happen. We have CHP (coal handling plants) silos. In FY24, we inaugurated eight CHP silos. This year, we are going to inaugurate almost 20.”

Of the envisioned FY25 target, Coal India is set to produce 838 million tonnes of coal. The company earlier had a target of producing 850 MT, which was revised owing to huge stocks at thermal power plants.
