"Low calorific value power plant coal of Indonesian origin is still dominating Indian market compare to Chinese market", said a coal exporter from Sumatra Island of Indonesia. Indian coal importers, particularly traders are importing Indonesian ultra-low calorific coal for blending purpose with South African and American high calorific value coal.

Indonesia shipped 8.89* and 7.85* million tons of coal to China in August & September 2013 respectively.

Indonesia's export thermal coals are bituminous to sub-bituminous in rank with widely varying ash, moisture and sulphur characteristics. In Indonesia, coals with as-received heat contents in excess of 5300 kcal/kg (gar) are generally classified as bituminous coals while coals with as-received heat contents of 4100 to 5300 kcal/kg (gar) are classified as sub-bituminous coals and below 4100 kcal/kg (gar) coals are classified as sub-bituminous "C" grade.

The Director General of Mineral and Coal’s declared the minimum selling price for Indonesian coal for September delivery was slightly higher than Augusts' price. The HBA for October delivery is expected any time this week.

The reference price is to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts. This coal benchmark price is stated as using a formula based on the index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index), Platts-5900, Newcastle Export Index, and global Coal Index. The assessment basis of the coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV 6,322kcal/kg (GAR), Total Moisture (AR) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (AR), Ash Content 15% (AR) and delivery Free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis.

The government declared HBA for September has down 0.36% per cent month on month and 10.96 % year on year.

The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal’s spot price benchmark for October 2013 delivery at US$ 76.61 per ton (basis 6322 GAR coal), which is US$ 0.28 lower than September 2013 price and US$ 9.43 lower compared to the same period in 2012.
