About the Indian Coal Markets Conference
Having crossed the 1 billion ton production milestone, India’s coal sector now faces an unexpected plateau in demand, forcing both established and emerging producers to reassess their short- and long-term growth strategies. At this juncture, the industry must decide whether to pursue unchecked expansion or recalibrate for balanced coexistence with renewable energy. As miners deliberate their options, deep structural changes – most notably the shift from predictable FSA-linked sales to the uncertainties of a market-based regime under the emerging Coal Exchange – are pushing companies to rethink their operating model and risk outlook. How will prices get discovered at these exchanges? What domestic and external factors would weigh in? How do we create room for the growth of both legacy and new age miners? And how would the seaborne market be factored in?
The 19th Indian Coal Markets Conference (ICMC) would try to find answers to some or all of these most pertinent questions and might give rise to new insights into the sector which are not even being discussed now.
Key topics to be discussed:
- Will exchange bring order or chaos to a surplus market?
- What will be CIL’s stance on coal exchange?
- Will exchange subsume FSA, e-auctions?
- Will commercial miners eat into imports or PSUs’ market?
- Financing coal projects: Banks’ and investors’ outlook
- What will be the impact of RGO on utilities’ coal demand?
- DRI’s fuel choice: Moving away from domestic coal?
- What will be the ripple effects of anti-dumping duty on coke?
- What will be the logistics arrangements for coal exchange?
- Has the opening up benefitted India’s OEM market?
- Seaborne coal prices: What does 2026 hold in store?
- Can India become a price-setter in seaborne market?
- What is exporters’ outlook on the Indian coal market?
- Ocean freight: Overcapacity to weigh on spot market?
