India’s Coal Ministry says the country has coal stocks sufficient to meet 62 days of power demand. The ministry’s update also points to improved supply performance in July. Coal production in July rises 7.51% year-on-year, while coal dispatches increase 17.34% over the same period. Taken together, the figures indicate higher output and stronger movement of coal for use in the power sector compared with the previous year. The reported information is presented as part of ongoing monitoring of coal availability and movement, including stock levels linked to expected power demand. The statements do not specify the type of coal, the geographic breakdown of stocks, or whether the 62-day figure refers to a specific category such as power plants’ inventories versus overall supplies. Based on the available reports, the ministry’s central message is that current stock levels are adequate for the stated duration, alongside year-on-year gains in production and dispatches during July.
