India Coal Market Synopsis

India Coal Market has been accomplishing faster growth and is anticipated to rise enormously during the forecast period. India is the world’s third-largest consumer of coal and one of its top producers. Coal offers a reliable source of energy for India as it accounts for over 70% of the country’s electricity generation. The Indian coal market has been growing at a tremendous rate since 2016 to meet rising demand from key sectors such as power, cement, sponge iron, steel, and aluminium. 

According to 6Wresearch, the India Coal Market size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.59% during the forecast period 2023-2029. Rising demand from key sectors such as power plants and industries driving production and usage in India`s coal market is expected to contribute significantly to growth over the forecast period. To increase production capacity and reduce import dependency on foreign countries like Australia or even Indonesia, several government initiatives have been undertaken that include inviting private sector investments into infrastructure projects which would help strengthen domestic mining capabilities. The introduction of advanced technologies like automation, smart mining systems etc., is expected to further propel growth within the industry due to increased efficiency in terms of cost optimization & safety measures taken for workers during operations as well as minimize environmental pollution generated by burning fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources gain more traction amongst consumers due to their lower costs & higher efficiency rates compared to traditional means used to generate electricity previously nowadays thanks to advances made by science recently gradually replacing reliance upon combustible fuel sources slowly yet surely whether local/international markets concerned alike becoming increasingly attractive option those looking cut down emissions produced thereby reducing the negative impact caused environment sooner.

Burning coal emits high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and particulate matter (PM10 & PM2.5). These pollutants cause significant health risks when released into the atmosphere unchecked by mines or industries using them; this combined with low-efficiency ratings makes it difficult to achieve long-term sustainability goals set forth by governments globally while continuing to use traditional methods employed widely across India’s numerous mines & factories consuming them daily basis still remain major challenges worth addressing soonest possible time frame available before situation gets out hand completely if left unattended immediately any longer than necessary already has become too late unfortunately many occasions sadly enough already. This can lead to a major decline in India Coal Market Growth.

COVID-19 Impact on India Coal Market

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the coal market in India which is a crucial part of Asia Pacific Coal Market in many ways. One of the major impacts on the industry was the disruption in coal production as well as transportation. The lockdown imposed in the country led to the closure of a number of mines, resulting in a sharp decline in the production of coal. This huge disruption had an effect on the supply chain since transportation of coal from mines to power plants as well as other end-users was adversely constrained and this factor led to a temporary imbalance in supply and demand, which caused uncertainties in the industry.

In addition, the pandemic had a key impact on the demand for coal in the country. With industries temporarily shutting down and commercial activities coming to a halt, the requirement for coal in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and transportation plummeted and this resulted in decreased demand from key industrial sectors, further exacerbating the obstacles faced by coal producers.

This move marked a key departure from the previous policy of allocating coal blocks to public sector entities. By opening up the coal market to private players, the government has aimed to promote competition, expand efficiency, and attract investments. Additionally, the government has been focused on improving the ease of doing business in the coal market. A number of administrative reforms have been introduced in order to streamline processes and decrease bureaucratic challenges for businesses operating in the coal sector. This includes measures to expedite approvals and clearances. 

Market by Types

According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, the sub-bituminous coal segment was attaining relatively higher growth in the India coal industry as compared to the other types. This is owing to the fact that sub-bituminous coal is considered lower-rank coal with higher energy content in comparison to lignite but lower than bituminous coal. It is used in power generation as well as industrial applications.
