The generation of fly ash from power plants in India increased in 5 years from 226.1 Mta in FY19-20 to 334 Mta in FY24-25.
In the same period, the utilization (including roads, cement, brick, backfilling, etc.) has been on the rise from 84.2 % to 97.8 %, mainly enabled by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change of India, which has issued various notifications on fly ash utilization. Utilization by the cement industry increased from 57.9 Mta (25.6 %) in FY19-20 to 89.8 Mta (27.0 %) in FY24-25.
