The country is likely to be surplus in coal production by FY26, Parliament was informed on Wednesday.
India may be surplus in coal production except for some high quality fossil fuel and coking coal needed for the steel industry and imported coal-based power plants.
Replying to a query in Lok Sabha, coal and mines minister Pralhad Joshi said, “India is expected to be surplus in coal production by the year 2025-26 except for some high quality coal and coking coal required for steel sector and ICB plants.”
