India’s non-coking coal imports continue falling in Jan-Apr’26

India’s non-coking coal imports fell 7.4% y-o-y to 51.34 million tonnes (mnt) in January-April 2026, according to BigMint data. Imports fell 11% y-o-y in April 2026 but rose by a minor 4% m-o-m to 14.2 mnt, a seven-month high, indicating that concerns over summer heatwaves and gas supply disruptions have not translated into a sizeable spike in India’s coal imports.
