Monthly Production and Dispatch from Captive and Commercial Mines in August 2025

 

Coal production from Captive and Commercial mines during August 2025 in the financial year 2025–26 was recorded at 14.43 million tonnes (MT), while dispatches reached 15.07 million tonnes (MT).

The cumulative figures for the financial year 2025-26 up to August reflect a strong year-on-year growth, with production rising by 11.88% and dispatches increasing by 9.12% compared to the same period last year. These positive trends indicate enhanced operational efficiency and more effective utilization of mining capacity across the sector.

The attached graph clearly illustrates the consistent performance improvement with both production and dispatch showing strong gains.

The Ministry attributes the sector’s improved performance to a series of strategic policy measures, rigorous monitoring, and consistent support to stakeholders. These efforts have played a crucial role in accelerating operational approvals and expanding production capabilities, thereby driving overall growth in coal output and dispatches.

The Ministry of Coal has reiterated its dedication to fully realizing the potential of captive and commercial coal mining in India. Moving forward, the emphasis will be on maintaining consistent production, reducing supply interruptions, and making a substantial contribution to the country’s rising energy needs
