Across the first nine months of FY2025-26, Pakistan&#x27;s total coal consumption rose to 21.4 million tonnes from 16.2 million tonnes a year earlier, with the power sector alone taking 12.8 million tonnes, on the PACRA study.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">By March 2026, imported coal reached US$110 per tonne on a free-on-board basis, about 22% higher than a year earlier, raising the landed cost of every South African cargo arriving at Port Qasim.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">In 2026, the International Energy Agency expects global coal-fired generation to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2017817\/coal-fired-power-generation-rising-globally-on-mideast-war-iea\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">increase 1.4%<\/a> after holding roughly constant in 2025, with energy prices up 30% against the first half of 2025 and at their highest level since the 2022 and 2023 crisis.<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 22px;padding:0;color:#222;\">\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Import volumes grew faster than domestic output: <\/strong>Pakistan&#x27;s domestic coal production reached 14.3 million tonnes over the nine months, yet rising demand still required substantially more imported supply, keeping South African cargo central to the mix.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Blending trials threaten the volume base: <\/strong>Trials mixing Thar coal into three imported-coal power plants with 3,960MW of combined capacity are underway, and mandatory blending would cut demand for imported grades significantly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>Top 2 Pakistan coal importer country: <\/strong><strong>Indonesia<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Indonesia holds second place in Pakistan&#x27;s coal sourcing by supplying sub-bituminous grades that compete on delivered cost rather than energy content. Because the Strait of Hormuz has faced regular blockages since March 2026, disrupting the route through which 20% of liquefied natural gas transits, Asian buyers including Pakistan shifted more load onto coal-fired plants.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Moreover, in FY26, imported coal-based generation rose 51.6% year on year to 13,748 GWh, lifting imported coal&#x27;s share of the mix to <a href=\"https:\/\/mettisglobal.news\/Pakistans-power-generation-rises-over-1-in-FY26-62000\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">12.7% from 10.2%<\/a>, on NEPRA data compiled by AL Habib Capital Markets.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Also, in June 2026, the regasified LNG cost climbed to Rs35.51 per kilowatt hour, up 62.4% year on year, prompting greater reliance on both imported and local coal-fired generation.<\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 22px;padding:0;color:#222;\">\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Coal displaced gas across the year: <\/strong>RLNG-based generation fell 22.9% across FY26 to 17,130 GWh, while gas-based output stayed broadly flat, leaving coal to absorb the difference in baseload supply.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Sub-bituminous grades suit blending use: <\/strong>Indonesia&#x27;s lower-calorific coal mixes readily with Thar lignite, positioning it for continued demand even as Pakistan pushes domestic substitution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>Top 3 Pakistan coal importer country: <\/strong><strong>United States<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">The United States supplies a small share of Pakistan&#x27;s coal, yet the corridor gained relevance as bilateral energy trade widened during 2026. Because Pakistan agreed its first-ever oil shipment from the US following a trade deal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aa.com.tr\/en\/energy\/general\/pakistan-to-import-1st-ever-oil-shipment-from-us-after-sealing-trade-deal\/50838\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">the two countries opened a direct energy supply channel<\/a> that extends beyond crude into other bulk commodities.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Distance limits growth in US coal shipments to Pakistan. American bituminous coal has higher freight costs than South African coal shipped through Richards Bay, making it less competitive for buyers focused on delivered prices.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Pakistan\u2019s domestic energy policy also reduces future import demand.

<br\/>Period: January-December 2025, January-June 2026. HS Code Range: 2701\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Pakistan\u2019s coal import growth in 2026 reflected a real change in its power generation mix, not just higher prices. According to NEPRA, total power generation increased 1.2% in FY26 to 128,700 GWh, supported mainly by imported coal, residual fuel oil, and wind power.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Domestic coal generation moved in the opposite direction. In June 2026, it fell 10% year on year to 1,358 GWh as output declined at Thar Coal Block-I and Engro Powergen Thar. Imported coal helped cover the supply gap.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Regional fuel disruptions also increased coal demand. The Middle East conflict restricted LNG shipments and pushed up spot prices, leading Pakistan and other Asian markets to rely more on coal-fired power during the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\"><strong>Highlights of Pakistan\u2019s coal import trend in 2026:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul style=\"margin:0 0 22px 22px;padding:0;color:#222;\">\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Imported coal recorded strong growth:<\/strong> Power generation from imported coal rose 51.6% in FY26. Residual fuel oil increased 153.5% from a much smaller base, while wind generation grew 16.6%.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Higher fuel costs affected electricity bills:<\/strong> In June 2026, the fuel cost adjustment reached Rs1.20 per kWh, about US$0.004, for the August billing cycle. The increase was mainly linked to higher regasified LNG costs.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Coal import dependence may decline:<\/strong> PACRA expects imports to fall gradually as Thar coal becomes more competitive. However, this will require continued investment in mining and transport infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:700;margin:34px 0 18px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>How to find Pakistan coal import data and buyers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Finding a reliable coal supplier for Pakistan requires going beyond aggregate statistics. Below are the simple 4-steps every import-export professional can take to start their coal buyer-searching process using both government sources and a trade data intelligence platform like TradeInt. Most buyers start with public channels - the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics for monthly HS-level summaries, NEPRA for fuel-mix and dispatch data, and the State Bank of Pakistan for import bill trends. These sources give useful directions, but none show which supplier loaded which grade, at which port, or on what schedule.<\/p>\n\n<ol style=\"margin:0 0 22px 22px;padding:0;color:#222;\">\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Official statistics by HS code:<\/strong> The Pakistan Bureau of Statistics publishes commodity-level import data under HS 2701, separating bituminous, sub-bituminous, and anthracite grades. This gives buyers a quarterly view of how the market is moving before approaching specific suppliers.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Power-sector generation reports:<\/strong> NEPRA&#x27;s monthly dispatch data shows how much imported versus domestic coal each plant is burning. A rising imported-coal share signals growing supplier demand before it shows up in trade statistics, helping buyers time their approach.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Port and terminal activity:<\/strong> Port Qasim handles the majority of Pakistan&#x27;s coal arrivals. Tracking berth bookings and terminal throughput confirms whether a supplier is genuinely active in the Pakistani market or simply listing it as a destination.<\/li>\n  <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><strong>Shipment-level customs records: <\/strong>The only channel that shows a supplier&#x27;s real delivery history - which importer they served, which port they discharged at, and how regularly - is transaction-level trade data. TradeInt&#x27;s Bill of Lading database covers 10B+ shipment records and 500M+ company profiles, searchable by HS code, supplier name, and port of loading, letting buyers verify any supplier&#x27;s track record against actual cargo movements before negotiating.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradeint.com\/contact-experts\/?utm_source=blog_article&amp;utm_campaign=seo_marketing_organic&amp;utm_content=coal-import-in-pakistan\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">Request a free TradeInt platform demo<\/a> to access verified Pakistan import data &amp; buyers on TradeInt.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:700;margin:34px 0 18px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Coal imports in Pakistan in 2026 is dominated by South Africa, Indonesia, and the United States as the top three origins, with bituminous coal making up nearly the entire product basket. Q2 2026 reached a series peak as imported coal generation grew 51.6% across FY26, driven by rising power demand and tight LNG supply, though Thar lignite expansion and plant blending trials could reduce import volumes from 2027 onward. <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Discover more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradeint.com\/product\/countries-covered\/?utm_source=blog_article&amp;utm_campaign=seo_marketing_organic&amp;utm_content=coal-import-in-pakistan\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">global trade data intelligence on TradeInt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:700;margin:34px 0 18px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>What type of coal does Pakistan import?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Pakistan imports mainly bituminous coal (HS 270112), which accounted for US$535.37 million across the January to June 2026 period, far ahead of sub-bituminous grades and anthracite. This concentration reflects plant design, since Pakistan&#x27;s imported-coal power fleet was engineered for high-calorific feedstock rather than the lower-grade lignite mined domestically at Thar.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>How is coal used in Pakistan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">The power sector is Pakistan&#x27;s largest coal consumer, taking 12.8 million tonnes of the 21.4 million tonnes used across the first nine months of FY2025-26, with cement, general industry, and brick kilns making up the balance. In FY26, imported coal generated 13,748 GWh of electricity, or 12.7% of the national mix, up from 10.2% a year earlier.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:700;margin:28px 0 14px 0;color:#111;\"><strong>Which is the best quality coal in Pakistan?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px 0;\">Imported bituminous coal carries the highest calorific value in Pakistan&#x27;s market, which is why it makes up nearly the entire import basket by value. Domestically, the Thar coalfield holds lignite, a lower-grade coal that requires blending before it can substitute for imported grades in existing plants, with trials currently running at three imported-coal power producers totalling 3,960MW.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;font-weight:700;margin:34px 0 18px 0;color:#111;\">Other relevant articles about coal import & export<\/h2>\n<ol style=\"margin:0 0 22px 22px;padding:0;color:#222;\">\n    <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tradeint.com\/insights\/top-5-coal-exporting-countries-with-highest-trade-value\/\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">Top 5 Coal Exporting Countries with highest Trade Value 2025<\/a><\/li>\n    <li style=\"margin:0 0 10px 0;color:#222;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tradeint.com\/insights\/india-imports-coal-from-which-countries\/\" style=\"color:#0456cc;text-decoration:underline;\">India imports coal from which countries?
