India witnessed an increase in domestic coal-based power generation to 779.1 TWh from April to November, the first seven months in the fiscal year of 2023-24, rising 8.38% compared to last year's 718.83 TWh, the coal ministry said in an official statement on December 23.
The overall power generation in the country increased 7.71% year on year during this period.
The overall coal-fired power production was up by 11.19%, which can be attributed to a rise in temperature, delayed monsoons in the northern region, and the resumption of full commercial activities post-Covid.
India, as the world's third-largest energy consumer, witnessed an annual electricity demand increase of about 4.7%.
Despite the escalating power demand, coal import for blending decreased significantly by 44.28% to 15.16 million tonnes up to November.
This showcases India's commitment to self-reliance in coal production and reducing overall coal imports.
India is making strides towards meeting its growing electricity demand and strengthening its energy security.
The government continues its efforts to boost coal production further, aiming to increase availability and reduce dependence on imported coal, thus safeguarding foreign reserves.
