New power plants in India may opt for high-calorific value South African coal instead of lower grade Indonesian supplies, India Coal Market Watch reported, citing an unidentified official from a South African mining company.

Supplies of the fuel in India are inadequate and there are infrastructure issues, the industry newsletter said. The higher energy content of South African coal enables utilities to import less and tackle logistics concerns, it said. India Coal Market Watch is published by Kolkata-based mjunction Services Ltd., an online trading company. (sourced Bloomberg)
