EXPLANATIONS

(1) Asphaltite is included within lignite.
(2) Dispatching of the fuel from production, imports, and stocks for consuming purposes.
(3) It shows the proportion of marketable production in deliveries.
The ratio of production to deliveries = (marketable production quantity/delivery quantity)*100
