India coal short-term outlook July 2022
Report summary
India’s thermal coal demand remains very robust. Domestic supply, however, fails to keep pace with the demand growth, pushing the country into a severe coal crisis. This demand-supply gap has revived India’s thermal coal imports significantly, particularly by the power sector. With the monsoon season underway, additional challenges to domestic supply are anticipated, further accelerating India’s thermal coal imports in the near term. Metallurgical coal demand is expected to remain under pressure in the near term, owing to the overall softness in steel demand. Read on to find out more about these issues and our forecast for the Indian coal market.
