Coal India Limited (CIL) is presently providing about 3.4 lakh tonne of coal per day to the non-power sector (NPS), which is the firm's average supply to this segment.

With over 37 million tonne (mt) of coal at its pitheads, CIL strives to step up supplies to this sector.

For a comparable period of even FY19, when CIL registered the highest ever total coal despatch since its inception, supply to the NPS sector increased by 11% to over 91.5 mt.

The causes for increased despatch during the Covid ravaged year were several.

As coal intake for a significant part of FY21, witnessed demand disruption caused by Covid, CIL increased supplies to the NPS segment. Additionally, NPS customers also opted to lift higher volumes of coal as CIL鈥榮 e-auction sales were capped at a notified cost for the first half of FY21. The NPS imports about 170 mt of coal in any given fiscal year for blending with domestic coal. But in FY22, the unusually high international coal costs proved to be a limitation for importing requisite quantities giving rise to a scarcity of coal at their end. CIL has adequate buffer stock to additionally boost supply to the non-power sector.

Riding on robust economic recovery, total coal-based power generation till January 2022 of the fiscal in progress grew by 11.2% on a year-on-year comparison.
