Coal India reported its highest monthly coal supply of 70.3 million tonnes in October, marking a 19% increase from the previous month.
Coal India Ltd., the state‑owned coal producer, announced that it supplied 70.3 million tonnes of coal in October, the highest figure ever recorded for a single month. The figure represents a 19% rise over the supply recorded in September.
The surge is attributed to increased output from the company’s flagship mines in Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, and it comes as India’s power sector continues to demand more coal to meet growing electricity needs.
The record supply is seen as a positive sign for the country’s energy security, as Coal India remains the largest supplier of coal to Indian power utilities and exporters.
