**Summary:**
In June 2025, captive and commercial coal mines in India produced 15.57 million tonnes (MT) of coal and dispatched 17.31 MT. The first quarter of the financial year 2025-26 demonstrated significant year-on-year growth, with production increasing by 16.39% and dispatches rising by 13.03% compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth is attributed to improved efficiency and better utilization of mining capacity. During June 2025, permission was granted for the opening of the Utkal A Mine, which has a Peak Rated Capacity of 25 MT. 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. These activities are intended to ensure a reliable coal supply for key industries, including power generation, steel manufacturing, and cement production. The Ministry of Coal emphasizes that these efforts contribute to enhancing domestic coal production and supporting a resilient and self-sustaining India.
