Coal in India 2017 – A Comprehensive Analysis on Trends & Outlook of Coal Sector – Research and Markets

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Coal
in India 2017 – A Comprehensive Analysis on Trends & Outlook of Coal
Sector” report to their offering.

India is the world’s third largest energy consumer, and its energy use
is projected to grow at a rapid pace supported by economic development,
urbanization, improved electricity access and an expanding manufacturing
base. By 2040, India’s energy consumption will be more than OECD Europe
combined, and approaching that of the United States.

In India’s energy sector, coal accounts for the majority of primary
commercial energy supply. With the economy poised to grow at the rate of
8-10% per annum, energy requirements will also rise at a reasonable
level. Coal will continue to be a dominant commercial fuel two decades
from now and beyond, despite our nuclear energy programme, development
of natural gas supplies, increased hydropower generation, and emphasis
on renewables.

The Indian coal industry aspires to reach the 1.5 billion tonne (BT)
mark by FY 2020. In fore-coming years, the industry will naturally need
to focus on building on the success, and be on track for reaching the FY
2020 goal. One of the primary goals of the Government of India is to
ensure that it is able to meet the country’s power generation needs.
Another aim is to lower the country’s reliance on coal imports by
boosting the coal production quickly. India imports about 25% of its
coal demand, much of which comes from Indonesia.

The government expects that by 2017-19, it will not have to import coal,
except to feed power plants located along the coast. Coal imports have
shrunk by around 9% this year, according to the government, which is a
positive trend. The success of coal block auctions carried out by the
new government has proved that its decision to conduct a fair and
transparent’ bidding for coal mines has benefited the country in a big
way. India’s investment in new coal-fired generation capacity will
support an increase in coal use. India has plans to almost double its
production to one billion tonnes by 2020 to meet its growing
requirements.
