LANCO IN TALKS FOR INDONESIAN COAL MINE
 Economic Times of India reported that, Infrastructure company Lanco Infratech is in advanced talks with Indonesian engineering, procurement and construction services provider PT Truba Alam Manunggal to acquire its thermal coal mine in South Sumatra for $80-90 million, said a person with direct knowledge of the development.
The Lanco Infratech spokesman declined to comment on the development. But a person privy to the company’s plan said: “Lanco Infratech is in talks with not just one but multiple companies in Indonesia, South Africa and Australia. The company’s requirement of thermal coal is around 4 million tonnes now.”
Thermal coal is a key raw material used for power generation, a sector Lanco has interest in.
The talks, if successful, will give Lanco Infratech access to 140 million tonnes of coal reserves, which will help meet its raw material requirement for a proposed coal-based power project in Karnataka. The acquisition will also help the Indian firm optimise the overall cost of producing power.
The deal between the two is being facilitated by Hindustan Global Resources, an Australian firm engaged in exploration, mining and consulting. The firm, owned by a group of non-resident Indians, has also told Lanco Infratech that it would help the Indian company develop the mine once the deal is sealed.
In the past few years, power companies have become active in scouting for coal mines overseas due to the unavailability of good coal in India.
Early this year, GMR Infrastructure acquired Indonesian coal company PT Barasentosa Lestari to ensure coal supply for its proposed 1,500 MW power plant on the western coast. Last month, Jindal Steel and Power bought a thermal coal mine in South Africa.
A steel analyst based in Delhi, who did not wish to be quoted, feels getting access to coal mines in India is not easy. This is because there’s a lot of paper work and a long waiting period involved, and even after the tedious wait, there’s no guarantee the company will get access to the mine. Secondly, coal in India is found in forests and areas inhabited by tribes, which will be disturbed by mining.
“We have identified a few coal blocks in Indonesia and Australia that were up for sale and forwarded the proposal to Lanco. They are talking to the firms concerned,” said Hindustan Global Resources vice-president Amar Bhasin. He, however, declined to name the foreign mining entities.
Lanco Infratech owns gas, wind and hydro-based power projects across India with operational capacity of 500 MW. The company clocked a turnover of around Rs 6,000 crore last fiscal. It posted a 96% jump in its consolidated net profit to Rs 115.85 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2009 over the corresponding period last year.
The company is setting up one power plant each in Karnataka and Chhattisgarh of 507.5 MW and 600 MW, respectively. It is also doubling the capacity of its Andhra Pradesh power plant to 736 MW. An additional 1,400 MW capacity will be commissioned by March next year.
Hyderabad-based Lanco Infratech also has interests in engineering, procurement and construction services. The Indonesian firm, on the other hand, carries out coal mining and trading activities through its subsidiary, PT Maxima Infrastruktur.
