India Coal Mining to 2035 (2026 Review)
Summary
The analyst's "India Coal Mining to 2035 (2026 Review)" provides a comprehensive coverage on the India’s Coal mining industry. It provides historical and forecast data on coal production, reserves by country, and world coal prices. The report also includes a demand drivers section providing information on factors that are affecting the country’s coal industry such as demand from end use sectors including power generation, steel and cement industries. It further profiles major coal producers, information on the major active, planned and exploration projects.India is the second-largest coal producer in the world, accounting for 12.0% of global production. During the first four months of FY26, India’s coal production declined by 3.1% over the same period in FY26. This temporary slowdown was primarily due to monsoon-driven disruptions across major coal-producing states such as Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh.
However, the country’s full-year coal production target remains significantly higher, with coal output expected to rebound sharply in the post-monsoon months as mining conditions normalize, power demand peaks, and year-end production strategies are rolled out. Overall, coal production in India is expected to grow by 7.9% to reach 1.16 billion tonnes (Mt) in 2026 over 2025. The commissioning of new Mine Developer-cum-Operator (MDO) operated blocks, strong production from mines including Amrapali, Kusmunda, Magadh and Kaniha, expansion of large mines such as Gevra and Dipka, start of new mines including Gare Pelma Sector II Coal Block and Chandragupta Open Cast Mines, capacity enhancement of washeries and CHPs, and improved rail connectivity are also expected to lift production.
