July 8, 2011, DUBLIN-(Coal Geology) -Research and Markets  has announced the addition of the “Indian Coal Industry Forecast to 2013″ report to their offering.

Indian coal industry is considered to be one of the largest in terms of reserve base and production level. The domestic coal industry has gained significant momentum in the past few years. The industry is mainly dominated by the government-owned PSUs like Coal India Ltd, which contributes around 80% of the overall domestic coal production. The industry has attracted various government concerns and investments in the past few years. Despite its huge resource base, India has not been able to minimize its coal deficit and still depends on imports, which are anticipated to grow in the coming years.

According to this research report Indian Coal Industry Forecast to 2013, Indian coal demand is continuously rising on the back of high demand from major coal consuming sectors including Power, Cement, and Steel. Moreover, with huge coal reserves, growing industry demand and the government support, coal production in the country is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during 2011-12 to 2013-14. It is anticipated that the demand for thermal coal and coking coal by the power and steel sectors respectively, will show a tremendous momentum in near future.

The Indian coal market is set to witness great boost in near future on the back of rising government initiatives. Recently, de-allocation of coal blocks and stake sales in PSU are some of the major steps that were taken by the government to boost the production and investment in the coal industry. Further, presence of vast opportunities in coal washeries is also encouraging players to invest in coal washeries.

Indian Coal Industry Forecast to 2013, provides detail information on key players of the industry, which will enable clients to understand the market share and growth prospects.

New Delhi, Sep 25 (Calcutta Tube) In a bid to increase coal production, the government will soon allow up to 20 boreholes in a square km area for coal exploration from one borehole in 1.5 square km permitted now, Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal said Friday.

‘Currently we produce around 530 million tones coal and import 67 million tones. To meet the existing shortfall there is urgent need to increase the production by bringing more coal bearing area under mining,’ Jaiswal said at the 3rd Coal Summit.

He said coal ministry was in consultation with forest and environment ministry to allow more boreholes for coal exploration.

Jaiswal expressed hope that forest ministry would give its green signal to the proposal soon that would allow 15-20 boreholes in per square km area without any forestry clearance.

He said major constraints in augmenting coal production were related to land acquisition, forestry and environmental clearances, inadequate evacuation infrastructure in major coalfields and law and order problems, particularly in some states.

‘To deal with the adverse law and order situation around some of the coal projects, the coal ministry has taken up the matter with the ministry of home affairs for augmentation of the present strength of CISF personnel in the coal companies,’ said Jaiswal.

On the government’s efforts to increase coal production, Jaiswal said the production capacities of public sector companies have been increased through new projects.

The government has allocated 208 coal blocks, out of which 26 have commenced the production. The contribution from these blocks is expected around 104 million tones in next five years, coal minister said.
