Indonesia emerged as the primary source of coal for India during this period, constituting a staggering 55.8% of the total imports. The substantial quantity imported highlights India's reliance on Indonesian coal to fuel its industries and power generation.

South Africa and the USA also made notable contributions, with 17.5% and 11% of the total imports, respectively. Colombia accounted for 10.6% of India's coal imports, showcasing a substantial but relatively smaller contribution.

China and Mozambique, although contributing smaller percentages individually, collectively accounted for 8.2% of India's coal imports.

Russia's contribution of 2% reflects a smaller but notable presence in India's coal import landscape. Russia's participation highlights the global nature of coal trade and India's efforts to diversify its import sources for energy security and economic stability.
