India's July Coal Production and Dispatch Rise 7.5% and 17%

India made more coal in July 2026 than last year, up about 7.5 percent.

Even more coal was sent out for use, up 17 percent.

The biggest producer, Coal India Ltd, made 50.35 million tonnes, also up 8.4 percent.

Across the first four months of the new financial year, India produced 302.24 million tonnes and sent out 354.70 million tonnes, both higher than last year.

The government says this helps keep power plants running and reduces the need to buy coal from other countries.
