On December 2, the government reported a 37% increase to 11.94 million tonnes (MT) in November. Coal production from commercial coal mines in November 2022-23 is 8.74 tonnes. Coal shipments from commercial captive coal mines in November were 12.92 tonnes, up 55% from 8.36 tonnes in the same period last year.
By November 2023, the mine's average coal production will reach 4.3 million tons daily. The Ministry of Coal said in a statement:
From April to November, total coal production from commercial coal mines was 83.90 MT, and total coal supply was 89.67 MT, registering a year-on-year growth of 24% and 31%, respectively. At the same time, in FY23.
The government is working hard to meet its production and carbon emissions targets, which is a critical step in ensuring national and energy security and promoting economic growth, he added.
Coal will be a major part of India's energy needs, External Affairs Minister Vinay Mohan Kwatra said hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Dubai on Thursday (October 30) for the COP28 climate conference.
Kwatra's speech is important as the conference discusses the use of coal and may push operators to switch to renewable energy sources.
