About This Dataset

Electricity generated from coal in India each year since 2010, in terawatt-hours, as published by Ember. Each bar is one calendar year.

✨ AI Insight

India's coal generation grew from 643 TWh in 2010 to a peak of 1,518 TWh in 2024, an increase of 136% in fourteen years. Two years interrupt that climb: 2020, when output fell to 1,144 TWh, and 2025, when it dropped from 1,518 TWh to 1,474 TWh. (2019 was flat, 0.1 TWh below 2018.) The 2025 decline is the notable point in this series - it is the first substantial fall in India's coal generation outside the pandemic year. Even so, the 2025 figure is still more than double the 2010 level.
