Coal imports for power to end by FY26
Mint Mumbai
|January 26, 2024
The coal ministry will request imported-coal based (ICB) power plants to make changes to their technologies and design so that they can use domestic coal, said the Union minister for coal Pralhad Joshi.

Speaking to reporters here on Thursday, the minister said the government wants to eliminate coal imports for power generation by the financial year 2025-26.
"The first thing what we had to achieve is making domestic coal available in the country. That is almost there today. Currently blending of imported coal for power generation is around 3%. Railways is doing a great effort. But there are constraints also... We are trying to address the logistics problems. If all these things happen, there is absolutely no need for coal imports," he said.
