How to read the numbers
- The monthly picture and the seven-month picture point in different directions. For October 2026, raw coal production and offtake were both higher than in October 2025. For April-October 2026, most lines, including raw coal production and overburden removal, were below the same period last year.
- Coking coal is the bulk of the output: 2.82 million tonnes of the 2.86 million tonnes of raw coal produced in October 2026. Non-coking coal is a small remainder and fell sharply year on year.
- Opencast mines produced 2.84 million tonnes in October 2026, while underground mines produced 0.02 million tonnes.
- Overburden removal, the earth moved to reach coal, was lower in the month and lower over the seven months than a year earlier.
- In October 2026, raw coal offtake of 3.32 million tonnes was higher than raw coal production of 2.86 million tonnes. For April-October 2026, offtake of 19.88 million tonnes was also above production of 16.64 million tonnes.
