Abstract
Coal is an most important fuel resource for generating energy across the world. An estimation of world coal resources reveals that India has 10% of the total resource and more than 55% of the current total commercial energy needs are met by coal. In view of the importance of coal as an important fuel, this study attempts to study the trends on actual coal resources, production, demand, and supply, and challenges faced by the coal industry in the Indian economy. It also suggests ways that would help in the efficient use of coal resources so that it can be preserved for future generations. The Central and the concerned State governments have to take bold steps to safeguard the existing coal reserves through suitable policies and serious steps not only for the future generations but also for present generations and maintenance good environmental conditions.
