Import of coal by non-regulated sectors, domestic thermal power plants drops in April-September
Coal import by non-regulated sectors (NRS) dropped 9.83 per cent to 63.28 million tonnes (MT) in the April-September period of the ongoing financial year, the government on Wednesday said. The coal import by NRS was 70.18 MT in year-ago period.
The coal import by domestic thermal power plants for blending purpose also declined 8.59 per cent to 9.79 MT in the April-September period from 10.71 MT a year ago.
«This demonstrates an increased reliance on domestic coal supplies for these sectors,» the coal ministry said in a statement.
However, there has been a rise in the import of coking coal, essential for the steel industry, and coal for imported coal-based (ICB) power plants, which are not substitutable by domestic coal.
The overall coal imports during April-September 2024 rose 1.36 per cent to 129.52 million tonnes (MT) compared to 127.78 MT in the corresponding period of the previous year.
