    India's coal demand grew by 7.
    5 percent to about 900 million tonnes
    in the 2017-18 fiscal year ending March 2018, India's coal minister Piyush Goyal said July 18.

    Although India encourages the use of renewable energy sources for power generation, coal is expected to remain India's primary energy source
    for the next three decades.

    Goyal said state-owned company Coal India has been working to boost production
    .

    India is the world's third largest emitter of greenhouse gases and one of the world's largest producers of coal, which provides three-fifths of the country's energy needs
    .

    Environmentalists argue that India's increased use of coal will hamper the global fight
    against climate change at a time when many Western countries refuse to use dirty fossil fuels.

    India's coal imports will rise after two consecutive years of decline in FY 2018-19, which would be a blow
    to the government's plan to reduce reliance on foreign supplies.

    India's thermal coal imports increased by more than
    15% from January to March 2018.
