Coal India output decline tightens supply
Coal India's quarterly production fell while power demand grew, straining availability. Rising mining costs and higher e-auction realisations point to continued upward pressure on coal prices.

Latest Development
Coal Demand Rises on Energy Crisis
War in West Asia disrupts LNG supply through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing economies to increase coal-fired power generation. This surge in demand is tightening the coal market and pushing prices upward.
Fly Ash Price Trend Q1 2026
- Fly ash prices remained firm to slightly rising across regions, with tight supply in Europe and Asia offsetting moderate demand conditions
- Reduced coal-fired power generation limited fresh ash output, tightening upstream availability despite stable coal inventories in parts of North America
- Cement and infrastructure demand supported consumption, though uneven construction activity, especially in China, capped sharper price increases
Fly ash prices in Q1’26 showed a firm trend globally, largely driven by constrained supply rather than strong demand expansion. The prices were about RMB 0.07/kg FOB in January to RMB 0.18/kg FOB in February in China. Declining coal-based power generation in China and India reduced ash availability, while India’s utilisation rate reached about 96%, leaving limited surplus volumes for open market supply, which pushed prices upward. However, weak construction activity in China moderated demand-side pull. In Europe, the continued decline in thermal coal imports, projected to fall by 15–20% in EU15 during 2026, significantly reduced fly ash generation, tightening supply and supporting prices despite only a modest recovery in cement demand. In North America, relatively stable coal inventories and muted coal market activity kept fly ash supply steady, though structural coal plant retirements and reliance on beneficiated landfill ash increased supply costs, lending mild price support. Downstream demand from cement and concrete sectors remained stable across regions, preventing price declines.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, in the near term, fly-ash prices in India are expected to remain stable, supported by ongoing infrastructure activity and cement demand, while supply levels from thermal power generation will continue to influence regional price variations.

During the second half of 2025, the global fly ash market experienced notable regional variations. China faced significant challenges as prices dropped due to excessive supply and weak demand. Heavy rainfall disrupted construction activities while coal-based power generation remained steady, creating a supply-demand imbalance. Suppliers engaged in competitive pricing to manage growing inventories as export markets in Southeast Asia and the United States slowed down.
In contrast, the United States maintained relatively stable market conditions throughout this period. Steady imports from Asian producers and efficient port operations ensured consistent availability. Institutional construction and industrial projects provided ongoing demand support, though non-residential segments showed some weakness. By November, American prices edged upward as Chinese production difficulties and rising shipping costs tightened import supplies. Port congestion in South China and stricter mine safety regulations reduced fly ash output. Infrastructure projects and carbon capture initiatives helped sustain demand despite declining residential construction permits.
Germany's market remained balanced with predictable supply levels and modest demand. The eurozone's sluggish construction sector and reduced cement production kept consumption limited, with buyers maintaining cautious sentiment amid economic uncertainty.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, the Fly Ash market is expected to remain cautious in the coming months. The recovery will depend heavily on construction sector performance and seasonal demand across different regions.
About Fly Ash
Fly ash is a fine, powdery byproduct generated from the combustion of coal in power plants. It consists primarily of mineral particles, including silica, alumina, and iron oxide, that are carried away with exhaust gases and collected by electrostatic precipitators or other filtration systems. Due to its chemical composition and pozzolanic properties, fly ash is commonly used in construction, particularly as a supplementary cementitious material in concrete production, improving durability and reducing environmental impact. Additionally, it has applications in soil stabilization, asphalt production, and various industrial processes, contributing to waste recycling and resource efficiency.
