Report summary
After reopening of economic activities post lockdown, India is set on the path to recovery, though the pandemic continues. Coal fired generation and steel production has improved considerably during Q3 2020 compared to Q2. With most of the economic activities resumed now, we are optimistic about India’s further recovery. Thermal and metallurgical coal imports are expected to ramp up next year, but we forecast these will be below 2019 levels. We expect stable power and steel demand in Q4 2020, with the government recently announcing some measures to boost demand in the short term. In this report, we look at the outlook for thermal and metallurgical coal in the short term.
