• India may advance coal push even after doubling capacity by 2030, says coal minister

    sxcoal.com Production & Sales,  International 2024-01-12 14:07:49

    India plans to continue expanding its coal production capacity after realizing its target of doubling it by 2030, putting its needs first over mounting global pressure to cut the use of the fossil fuel.

     

    The country will keep increasing coal production even beyond 2030 given the steep surge in the country's power demand in the coming years, said Pralhad Joshi, the minister for the Ministry of Coal, Mines and Parliamentary Affairs.

     

    "There is no question of any reduction in coal production after 2030. For the next 40 years at least, coal is going to stay (as a key energy source) in India," Joshi added.
