India reports marginal rise of 0.9% in coal imports at 90.51 MT in April-July period of FY25

26 Sep 2024 Evaluate

The Ministry of Coal has said that India reported a marginal rise of 0.9 per cent in coal imports at 90.51 MT in the April-July period of FY25 compared to 89.68 MT in the previous year. It added that there is a ‘critical need’ for coal imports. While the non-coking coal imports increased 2 per cent, coking coal imports declined 2.6 per cent. In July 2024 alone, coal imports rose 15.9 per cent to 21.81 MT from 18.82 MT in July 2023. 

The ministry further said the imports for blending purposes have decreased 8.2 per cent despite a 10.18 per cent year-on-year growth in coal-based power generation from April-July 2024 compared to the same period last year. Additionally, the coal imports by the non-regulated sector saw a significant decline of 11 per cent to 44.97 MT from 50.53 MT earlier. It noted that India, which has the fifth-largest coal reserves in the world, is also its second-largest consumer, driven by a rapidly growing economy.

Coal production during the April-July FY25 period increased 9.56 per cent to 321.40 MT from 293.35 MT in FY24. However, it said the current consumption landscape reveals a critical need for imports, particularly for coking coal and high-grade thermal coal, which are not sufficiently available within domestic reserves. This shortfall necessitates imports to support key industries, including steel.
