Big explosion of this Indian government company amid Iran-America war! It explodes 9 lakh tonnes of explosives every year, now took this shocking decision

New Delhi: The increasing tension between Iran and America has shaken the economy of the entire world. Its impact is clearly visible in India too – prices of petrol, diesel and gas are skyrocketing. But in this time of crisis, a leading Indian government company has taken such a step which has surprised everyone. We are talking about Coal India, which despite suffering huge losses, has given great relief to the general public and its customers.

9 lakh tons of explosives and huge burden of expenses

Coal India, along with its subsidiaries, uses about 9 lakh tonnes of explosives every year to break coal seams. Due to the ongoing crisis in the Middle East, the prices of ‘ammonium nitrate’, used in the manufacturing of explosives, has gone up. This has had a direct impact on the company’s pockets. According to Coal India, the average cost of explosives has increased by 26 percent from Rs 39,588 in February 2026 to Rs 49,783 per tonne by the end of March.

Customers were not allowed to suffer the shock of inflation

Usually when companies’ costs increase, they pass the burden on to their customers. But Coal India has announced that it has decided to bear the brunt of this increase in operating costs itself. The company has clearly said that if they had increased the price of coal, everything would have become expensive in the market. Coal India is committed to ensuring supply of coal to the country at affordable rates. Not only this, the company is also giving compensation to those contractors who are buying expensive diesel in bulk to work in the mines.

Prices increased by 44 percent after the war

This increase in the prices of explosives has come due to ammonium nitrate, which accounts for 60% in making explosives. Before the start of the war, its price was Rs 50,500 per tonne, which has increased by 44% to Rs 72,750 per tonne by April 1, 2026. Before the West Asia crisis, i.e. from August 2025 to January 2026, prices were stable, but after March 1, 2026, they are seeing a continuous increase. This decision of this company, which has more than 80% share in domestic coal production, is being praised everywhere.
