Coal import rises 5% to 52 MT in Apr-May; demand likely to fall in monsoon

India's coal import rose 5.3 per cent to 52.29 million tonnes (MT) in the first two months of the ongoing fiscal as against the year-ago period. The country's coal import was 49.62 MT in April and May in FY24, according to data compiled by mjunction services ltd -- a B2B e-commerce platform from a joint venture between Tata Steel and SAIL. However, coal import in May dropped marginally to 26.19 MT, from 26.57 MT a year earlier. "Coal imports... were down 1.43 per cent as against 26.57 MT imported in May 2023," it said.

Also, coking coal prices are expected to move up in the seaborne market due to supply tightness and this may impact buyers' interest in the country. Of the total imports in May, non-coking coal imports stood at 17.53 MT, against 18.10 MT imported in
