Under the Ministry of Coal Industry of Kuzbass, in January-March 2025, coal mining enterprises in Kuzbass produced 50.4 mio t (-2.4 mio t or -4.5% vs. Jan-Mar 2024).
In 2024, coal production in Kuzbass dropped to 198.4 mio t (-15.8 mio tons or -7.3% vs. 2023).
Export supplies from Kuzbass in Jan-Mar 2025 totaled 27.3 mio t (+1.0 mio t or +3.9% vs. Jan-Mar 2024).
Exports from Kuzbass in 2024 shrank to 102.0 mio t (-11.8 mio t or -10.4% y-o-y).
The fall in global prices, coupled with a rise in production costs and logistics expenses, resulted in increased losses. The share of loss-making companies surged to 57%.
According to the Ministry, two underground mines and six open-pit mines ceased operations in the region in 2024.
The crisis in the coal industry, on the back of sanctions, high railway tariffs, rising costs and logistical constraints, will further adversely affect the production and supplies of high-quality Russian coal to the global market in 2025.
