Bloomberg reported that India’s Malabar Cements Ltd is seeking to import 40,000 tonnes of power-plant coal through a tender.
According to a document on the company’s website, suppliers must submit their offers by September 2.
The document said that imported coal must be of South African or Chinese origin with a minimum gross calorific value of 6,300 kilocalories per kilogram, a maximum total moisture content of 12%, maximum ash content of 15% and maximum sulfur content of 1%. Deliveries of 7,000 to 7,500 tonnes should start in October and be completed by April.

South Africa exports above 1 million tonne coal to India
Thursday, 03 Mar 2011
Reuters reported that India bought 1.5 million tonnes of thermal coal from South Africa in January 34% of its total exports of 4.4 million tonnes but down from 2 million tonnes in December.
Exporters said that China accounted for 452,000 tonnes of South African coal in January, little changed from 485,000 tonnes shipped in December.
One exporter said that "The tonnages moving to India have remained substantial, but Indian buyers are less visible in the market because they're buying more term contract coal and less spot.”
India has over the past two years become the biggest single importer of South African coal and is expected to increase its share over the next several years as power generation grows.
The strength of Indian and to a lesser extent Chinese imports of South African coal has been the main factor supporting coal prices at over USD 100 a tonne during the past several months.
