INDIAS MAHARASHTRA SEEKS TO IMPORT 3.35 MILLION TONS OF COAL - BLOOMBERG


Bloomberg reported that, Maharashtra State Power Generation Co., a provider of electricity to India’s commercial hub Mumbai, is seeking 3.35 million metric tons of steaming coal in the year starting April 1, its biggest import so far.

“So far we’ve been doing fixed price contracts for coal where we’d buy at one price for the whole year,” Subrat Ratho, the utility’s managing director, said in a telephone interview. “From this tender onward, we will be buying at prices linked to global coal prices.”

Indian state-run generators, especially those located along the coasts, are expected to import more coal this year on directions from the Ministry of Power as it seeks to cut electricity shortages of as high as 13 percent. India’s thermal coal imports surged last year to about 60 million tons from about 30 million tons in 2008, Macquarie Group said this month.

The steam coal tender may feed the Mumbai-based company’s power plants in Nasik, Bhusawal, Khaparkheda, Parli and Chandrapur, according to a tender notice sent to traders this week. The bids are due on April 13. There will be two parts to the bid, one to evaluate the selling company’s capability and the other for the price.

Mahagenco, as the company is known, plans to import 3.35 million tons of power plant coal in the year starting April 1, 40 percent more than 2.4 million tons in the year ending March 31, Ratho said.

“We would like to import as little as we can because overseas coal is six-times more expensive than Indian coal,” Ratho said. “But it appears the Ministry of Power has made an assessment of how much coal the domestic companies will be able to supply to various states and have given us this target.”

Power-station coal prices at Newcastle, an Asian benchmark, rose 1.2 percent last week, according to the globalCOAL NEWCIndex. Prices gained $1.12 to $95.04 a ton in the week ended March 19.

State-owned Mahagenco operates plants with a total installed capacity of 9,996 megawatts of hydroelectric, thermal and hydro plants, according to the Web site.
