Indonesia, South Africa, and Australia top the list of India\u2019s thermal coal suppliers. With India\u2019s government committed to the country\u2019s complete electrification, the coal fleet will continue to grow strongly. IHS Market predicts India will spearhead future Asian demand for steam coal with imports reaching 181 MMT by 2020 and steadily increasing through 2040. In addition, India imports a substantial amount of metallurgical coal from Australia and coking coal from China.<\/p>\n\n<p>You can find the latest Indian coal market data, news, and insight through the IHS Indian Coal Report.

Indian coal, which has high ash content and low calorific value, presents a challenge for the efficient functioning of supercritical boilers. Second, India\u2019s infrastructure for transporting coal from inland deposits to its two dozen coastal power stations remains poor. The share of India\u2019s coastal-based power, which operates completely on imported coal, is expected to increase from the current 17% to 23% by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p>State-owned\u00a0enterprise Coal India\u00a0is the largest\u00a0coal\u00a0mining company in the world. The coal sector is a major source of revenue for states and the central government. Also, while renewable energy capacity is dramatically increasing, coal still provides around 70 percent of the country\u2019s electricity.<\/p>\n\n<p>Last year, the Modi government sought to boost the domestic coal mining sector with a series of commercial auctions. The government has also repeatedly delayed the implementation of pollution regulations for coal plants, effectively throwing the dirtiest coal plants a lifeline.<\/p>\n\n<p>As the third-largest producer of carbon dioxide emissions in the world today with an economy that&#8217;s poised to see massive growth in the future, what happens to India\u2019s energy mix will have a significant impact on the entire planet and its inhabitants.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INDIAN COAL India is the world\u2019s fifth-largest coal producer but also the steam coal market\u2019s largest buyer \u2013 accounting for 19% of global imports (169 MMT) in 2015.
