Report summary

A significant increase in domestic coal production facilitated India to tide over the coal crisis in Q4. However, the country is still away from optimum inventory levels at power plants. The power sector remains a priority for the government, and industrial consumers to rely more on imports. Thermal coal imports are recovering, while metallurgical coal imports remain strong. Coal supply and demand will persist strongly in Q1 2022, the end of Indian fiscal year. However, the demand is anticipated to outpace the supply keeping thermal coal imports buoyant. Read on to find out more about these issues and our forecast for the Indian coal market.

Softness in seaborne coal prices expected to further revive thermal imports
Strong economic outlook to keep thermal coal demand strong in 2022
Metallurgical coal demand braces for yet another record high in 2022
Production to remain strong in 2022 to facilitate demand growth
