Coal gasification project to strengthen India's energy security: Reddy

Union Coal and Mines Minister G Kishan Reddy on Saturday said the beginning of the coal gasification project marks a historic step towards converting India's abundant coal resources into value-added products, which will strengthen the country's energy security and promote import substitution.

The Union minister attended the meeting by physically remaining present at the project site in Lakhanpur in Jharsuguda district.

Coal India offers record 35 MT coal under linkage auction to curb imports

Coal India Ltd (CIL) on Friday announced a series of measures to boost coal availability for non-regulated sector (NRS) consumers and improve operational flexibility, as part of efforts to reduce import dependence and meet rising industrial demand. The state-run miner in a statement said it will offer a record 35 million tonnes of coal under its linkage auction window scheduled for June 12, targeting high-grade coal consumers such as the sponge iron sector. The move is expected to curb imports of high gross calorific value coal. CIL has also allowed steel producers in the coking coal segment to sell coal middlings -- a byproduct of washed coal -- in the open market if not used for captive power generation. The provision has been enabled under the ongoing Tranche-X linkage auctions that began on June 3. The company said it has offered 13.75 million tonnes of coal to the steel (coking) sub-sector in the current tranche and increased flexibility for consortium changes during contract .

Coal India's production falls 11.6% in May despite record power demand

State-owned CIL reported an 11.6 per cent on-year fall in coal production in May, with output slipping to 56.1 million tonnes (MT) even as the country's power demand surged to an all-time high. Coal India Ltd (CIL), which accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output, had reported coal production of 63.5 MT in May last year.

Coal production in the April-May period also dropped by 10.6 per cent to 112.2 MT over 125.6 MT produced in the year-ago period. According to industry analysts, the timing of the drop coincides with a sharp spike in electricity demand, putting pressure on coal sto

Coal India plans syngas production units as gas supply concerns rise

State-owned Coal India plans to set up coal-to-syngas production units either at pithead locations or adjacent to user industries such as fertiliser units, direct-reduced iron and gas-based power plants amid disruption in gas supplies due to the West Asia conflict, sources said. Coal India Ltd (CIL), which accounts for over 80 per cent of domestic coal output, has already initiated steps to develop such coal-to-syngas facilities. In line with the National Mission on Coal Gasification and the government's vision to enhance domestic chemical and feedstock security, CIL intends to set up coal-to-syn-gas facilities to cater to the market demand for syn-gas in gas-based power plants/DRI or fertiliser plants, sources said. The company plans to develop such facilities either on Build-Own-Operate (BOO) or Build-Operate-Maintain (BOM) basis, with syngas to be produced from coal by developers or consortia, they said. Syngas serves as a versatile feedstock for the production of clean fuels, .

Coal India auctions dip 6% to 30.5 MT in April amid West Asia energy shock

State-owned CIL, the country's largest coal producer, offered 30.5 million tonnes (MT) of coal through online auctions in April, marking a 6 per cent decline from 32.5 MT in March. The dip comes against the backdrop of ongoing geopolitical tensions in West Asia, a key oil-producing region, which have spiked global energy prices and prompted power plants to ramp up coal usage for energy security. According to the provision data of Coal India Ltd (CIL), of the total coal on offer by the PSU in April, Mahanadi Coalfields Ltd (MCL) auctioned 9.4 MT, followed by South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) 5.6 MT, Central Coalfields Ltd (CCL) 4.6 MT, Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL) 4.4 MT, Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL) 3.0 MT, among others.

Coal India's production falls 9.7% in April amid rising power demand

State-owned CIL, the country's largest coal producer, on Friday reported a 9.7 per cent drop in coal production to 56.1 million tonnes (MT) in April, raising concerns over meeting the country's surging energy demands. The slump in coal production is significant as coal remains the backbone of the country's power generation, accounting for over 70 per cent of electricity output. Coal India Ltd (CIL) produced 62.1 MT of coal in April 2025-26. With peak summer demand pushing power consumption to record highs, the production shortfall could strain supplies to thermal plants and industries, potentially leading to higher imported coal costs, the industry leaders said. Coal India's offtake, or sales to customers, also dropped by two per cent to 63.2 MT in April over 64.5 MT in the corresponding month of the previous fiscal, according to the provisional data. Coal India subsidiaries, which recorded a decline in production, include Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL), Bharat Coking Coal Ltd (BCCL
