The Indian coal industry is passing through a crucial juncture, wherein the short-term demand slackness is putting a roadblock to long-term growth.

However, once the discoms start regaining health, post 2020, coal demand in the country is expected to see a surge yet again, given the land constraints facing the renewables. With CIL falling short of target and captive production not coming up in a big way, the government is busy doing the ground work for a big shake-up by opening commercial coal mining.
