IMPORTING INDONESIAN COAL MAKES SENSE FOR INDIAN COASTAL PLANTS EVEN WHEN IT IS COSTLIER THAN INDIAN - ECONOMIC TIMES
Coal ExcavatorRising Indonesian coal production and lower Chinese demand have pulled down Indonesian coal prices by 22% over the last 45 days, a trend that augurs well for plants that import fuel, said The Economic Times of India  in its report published late last week.

China has restricted coal imports at many ports and plans to phase out a large number of thermal plants, hurting demand. Indian power generators are likely to increase imports because they face a supply crunch. It would also ease pressure on Coal India although it would increase dependence on foreign fuel, further said The Economic Times of India.

According to The Economic Times, experts said prices are expected to fall further, keeping potential buyers away from the market as they are waiting for lower rates. Public sector power companies would continue to follow centre’s directive of not importing fresh consignments. A senior power company executive said: “As Indonesian prices fall, power plants within a radius of 150 km from ports will find it remunerative to import. Ash content in Indonesian coal is, at most, 10% while Indian coal contains ash of 30-40%.

The Economic Times of India further noted that, Importing Indonesian coal makes sense for coastal plants even when it is costlier than Indian. However, for pit head plants, it is still a costlier option and will continue to be so unless prices fall drastically.”

Deepak Kannan of S&P Global Platts in Singapore said price of freight on board Kalimantan 4200 GCV as received coal — a popular grade bought by both India and China in significant quantities — has dipped to $40 per tonne on Tuesday (17 April), from $51 late February.

According to a coal importer, The Economic Times of India said, the 4,200 GAR calorific value coal variety from Indonesia can be roughly compared to G11grade sold by Coal India. “Base price of G11 at pit head is Rs 1,145 (approximately US$ 17.20) per tonne. A consumer pays Rs 2,200-2,300 (approximately US$ 33.06 - 34.56) per tonne after paying handling charges, GST, Royalty and other levies. This coal when offered through e-auction fetches higher prices that could be as higher by 30-40% over the base price. In contrast the landed price of the Indonesian variety comes to around $50.19 (Rs 3,287) at ports,” the importer said.

However, price of 3,800 GAR calorific value coal is $42.63 per tonne (Rs 2,792), whereas basic price of G12 is Rs 1,063 (approximately US$ 15.97) and its ex-mine comes to Rs 1,800-1,900 (approximately US$ 27.04 - 28.55) per tonne.
