India’s total coal and coke imports landed at 24.12 million metric tons (MMT) in June 2025, up 2% from 23.70 MMT in June 2024, but down 13% from 27.77 MMT in May. The monthly decline reflects a clear slowdown in procurement, with buyers stepping back after a heavy May intake. In the first half of 2025, cumulative imports totalled 140.06 […]

June marked a turning point across India’s energy and commodities landscape – one shaped by cooling coal imports, tightening steel safeguards, and a power sector in the midst of seasonal and structural transitions. Coal weakened across the board: domestic coal production slid by 6.78% year-on-year, with Coal India Ltd. struggling to meet ambitious targets amid monsoon disruptions and mounting inventories. […]

This presentation offers a data-driven snapshot of Pakistan’s power sector. Crucially, coal-fired generation—both local and imported—is projected to increase its share from 17% in FY25 to 21% in FY26. This shift is aimed at mitigating supply risks tied to imported RLNG and stabilizing generation costs. Yet, reliance on coal underscores a persistent tension in Pakistan’s energy transition: balancing cost, supply […]

Add in lignite production, and total coal production last year was over 9 billion tonnes.

Despite the growth of renewables, coal remained one of the most frequent price setters in the National Electricity Market (NEM), accounting for 30% of intervals, only slightly behind hydro (31%). During Queensland’s all-time maximum demand of 11,144 MW on 22 January, tight supply-demand conditions occurred during the evening peak, when grid-scale solar had ramped down and wind output was low.
