Special Regime Boosts Coal Sales and Exports at Erdenes Tavantolgoi

By Government Resolution No. 26 of July 9, 2025, a three-month special regime was introduced for Erdenes Tavantolgoi JSC, with a special cabinet envoy appointed to oversee its operations.

In the first half of 2025, the company sold an average of 1.7 million tons of coal per month. After the regime was introduced, sales rose to 2.7 million tons per month in July and August. 

In August alone, 2.1 million tons of coal worth USD 116.6 million were traded in 26 exchange auctions, while exchange-based exports doubled from the previous month to 739 thousand tons. Overall, coal traded on the exchange rose from 1.3 million tons in the first half of the year to 3.2 million tons in the past two months — a 2.4-fold increase.

Delivery times for sold coal were also reduced two to three times through optimized transportation operations. In line with Government Resolution No. 26 and the Prime Minister’s instructions during his visit to the Erdenes Tavantolgoi mine, a four-part plan covering mining, transportation, sales, and related operations has been approved and implemented.
