Summer of 2024: Here's how India is gearing up for power demand surge
India's summer worries on shortage of power due to coal availability may be in check this year as overall coal production has increased by over 12% so far in FY24.
Reaching Melting Point
In FY23, India’s domestic production was estimated at half a million tonnes, resulting in a 15% jump in imports to 2,75,341 tonnes
Coal India surpasses annual production target growth in 2023
In November 2023, the total coal output reached 66 MTs, showcasing an 8.7% increase compared to the 60.7 MTs recorded in November 2022, reflecting a substantial rise of 5.3 MTs
Domestic coal production up 14.7% to 892 MT in FY23; FY24 target is one billion MT
Coal India Limited (CIL) continued to be the largest producer of domestic coal accounting for 78.8% of the total production during FY23.
India’s coal production rises 32.6% in June
Coal despatch touches 75.46 MT; coal-based power generation achieves 26.58% growth in June 2022
Coal imports decline to 209 MT in FY22; production up by 61 MT
Though there was a dip in imports, coal demand rose from 906 MT in 2020-21 to 1,027 MT in 2021-22; govt says imports kept in check on sustained domestic supply.
Coal, coal everywhere, but not a tonne to spare
Coal shortage persists despite countries such as China, India, Indonesia and Australia producing record amount in recent years.
