Abstract
"Indian Coal Industry Outlook till 2012" is the new market research report by
RNCOS on one of the earliest fossil fuels used by the mankind, coal. India has
been relying on coal for its energy requirements since long and this report
provides extensive research and objective analysis on the extensive coal
sector in India. It reviews the performance of the Indian coal industry in
recent years and focuses on the driving factors, future prospects and issues
associated with it. Detailed data and analysis given in the report will help
investors to comprehend the rapidly changing dynamics of the coal industry.
Indian Coal Industry
The Indian coal industry is the fourth largest in terms of coal reserves and
third largest in terms of coal production in the world. But despite its huge
resource base, till date, India has not been able to minimize its coal deficit.
Coal has been recognized as the most important source of energy for
electricity generation and industries such as steel, cement, fertilizers and
chemicals are major sectors of coal consumption. So in order to satisfy the
coal demand, the Indian coal industry needs more investment and private
players to raise its production level. The coal washeries have to take bigger
role in the industry to produce less moisture and ash-based coal to sustain in
strict environment regulations.
Key Findings
- Coal requirement for the power utility will grow at a CAGR of around 10%
during 2007-08 to 2011-12.
- Private coal washeries have rapidly increased the production of washed
non-coking coal in India during 2002-03 to 2006-07.
- High coking coal demand by the Indian steel industry and low reserve base
has boosted the import of coking coals.
- Coal demand from the Indian cement industry looks bright and it is
expected that coal requirement by the industry will rise steadily from 2007-08
to 2011-12.
- Coking coal requirement in steel production is expected to touch over
85.34 Million Metric Tons in 2011-12.
