As India’s steel industry ramps up its capacity and output, plans are in motion to nearly double coal production in the coming years to meet growing demand. The government is pushing for expanded coal mining, enhanced infrastructure, and increased investment in mining technology to support the steel sector’s ambitious growth targets.
Key players in the steel industry have projected rising demand for both thermal coal and coking coal, the latter essential for traditional steel-making processes. To meet this, policymakers are formulating strategies under national coal missions to ensure adequate supply—ranging from scaling up coal mine output to promoting private sector participation and modernizing coal transportation systems.
However, experts caution that expanding coal production must be balanced with environmental and sustainability concerns, especially as India works to reduce its carbon footprint and transition to cleaner steel-making technologies. The success of these plans will hinge on integrating green practices, improving regulatory frameworks, and ensuring that coal expansion is not only economically viable but also environmentally responsible.
