INDONESIA REMAINS AT THE TOP SPOT IN 2019 AS THE LARGEST SUPPLIER OF COAL TO INDIA WITH 91.3 MLN TONNES - BANCHERO COSTA

Banchero CostaDespite repeated promises from India’s government to reduce the country’s coal imports and increase domestic self-reliance, volumes just continue to rise. In the 12 months of calendar 2019, India imported 206 mln tonnes of coal, including both thermal coal and coking coal, but excluding petcoke, based on Refinitiv vessel tracking data, Banchero Costa said in its latest weekly report.

According to Banchero Costa. this represented an increase of +5.1% y-o-y from the 195.9 mln tonnes imported in 2018, and was +11.0% more than the 185.6 mln tonnes imported in 2017. What is surprising, is that imports are rising despite India’s sharpest economic slowdown since the global financial crisis. Logistical challenges, heavy rains and frequent strikes and protests have hit output at state-run Coal India, which accounts for more than four-fifths of India’s coal production.

Banchero Costa further noted in its report that, utilities in particular increased coal imports in 2019 despite electricity demand growing at the slowest pace in six years as the broader economic slowdown stifled industrial output. The biggest increase reportedly came from Adani’s “Ultra mega” power plant in Mundra, Gujarat state, with its shipments rising 75% to 17.35 mln tonnes. There has also been some reshuffling in trade patterns, as some suppliers have benefitted more than others. Indonesia remains at the top spot in 2019 as the largest supplier of coal to India with 91.3 mln tonnes, +10.5 percent y-o-y and now accounting for 44 percent of India’s total seaborne coal imports.

Australia, however, shipped only 44.5 mln tonnes of coal to India in 2019, down by -4.3% y-o-y. Nevertheless, Australia remains in second place, accounting for 22% of India’s total seaborne coal Imports said Banchero Costa.

According to Banchero Costa , South Africa shipped 37.4 mln tonnes of coal to India in 2019, up +1.6% y-o-y. South Africa is in third place, accounting for 18% of India’s total imports. Volumes from the USA have significantly declined this year.

India imported 12.2 mln tonnes of coal from the USA in 2019, down by -22.4% y-o-y. The USA still account for 6% of India’s imports. Imports from Russia surged by +33.1% y-o-y to 6.8 mln tonnes. Shipments from Canada also increased, by +8.6% y-o-y, to 6.1 mln tonnes.

Banchero Costa also reported port wise break up for coal imports. The main import terminals on India’s North-West Coast are: Mundra in Gujarat (29.7 mln tonnes in 2019), Kandla in Gujarat (14.2 mln tonnes in 2019), Hazira in Gujarat (11.3), Navlakhi in Gujarat (5.9), Dahej in Gujarat (4.2), Jaigad in Maharashtra (6.4), and Mumbai in Maharashtra (3.9).

On the South–West coast we have: Marmugao in Goa (8.1 mln tonnes in 2019), and New Mangalore in Karnataka (4.3). On the North-East coast: Haldia in West Bengal (5.9 mln tonnes in 2019), Paradip in Orissa (16.6), and Dhamra in Orissa (13.8). On the South-East coast: Krishnapatnam in Andhra (19.1 mln tonnes in 2019), Gangavaram in Andhra (18.9), Visakhapatnam in Andhra (16.0), Kakinada in Andhra (3.3), Ennore in Tamil Nadu (8.8), Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu (6.2), and Karaikal in Puducherry (3.4).

Banchero Costa  also further noted that, out of the total 206 mln tonnes of coal shipped to India last year, only roughly 68 mln tonnes (33 percent) were shipped on Capesize vessels, about 81 mln tonnes (39 percent) on Panamaxes or Post-Panamaxes, about 55 mln tonnes on Supramaxes (27 percent), with only sporadic cargoes on Handies.
