New Delhi : With sustained and coordinated efforts across the sector, India has once again achieved the landmark of 1 billion tonne (BT) coal production, marking this significant milestone for the second consecutive year.
This achievement highlights the country’s growing self-reliance in the energy sector and its firm commitment to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply to key industries. The consistent rise in coal production has enabled the nation to effectively meet increasing energy demands while supporting the power sector in maintaining record-high coal stock levels at coal-based thermal power plants.

The Ministry of Coal reiterated its commitment to building a stable, transparent, and performance-driven ecosystem. Through proactive policy measures, continuous performance monitoring, and close stakeholder engagement, the Ministry has ensured reliable coal availability and seamless operations across sectors.
Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, this achievement reinforces the Government’s resolve to develop a resilient energy framework, boost domestic production capabilities, and drive sustainable economic growth.
