September 28: India’s pithead vendible coal stocks rose 13.51% to 40.213 million tons (mt) on the last day of August 2015 against 35.425 million tons (mt) as on the last day of August 2014, according to provisional data available with ICMW.
However, on a month-on-month basis, India’s pithead vendible coal stocks fell 9.41% from 44.39 million recorded as on the last day of July 2015.
