In July FY27, Coal India Ltd (CIL) recorded its highest-ever coal dispatches for the month, totaling 64.19 MT, driven by an 18% increase in supplies to the power sector. Overall coal production also rose to 50.36 MT, a year-on-year increase of 8.44%.
CIL's cumulative coal supplies from April to July FY27 reached 262.04 MT, up 6.9% from the previous year. The weak monsoon has led to increased reliance on coal-fired generation, as hydroelectric output declined by 10.75% during the same period.
Additionally, overburden removal improved by 21.11% in July, essential for sustained coal production. This trend underscores the vulnerability of the energy sector to climatic conditions and the growing dependence on thermal power.
