28 Jan 2016
India’s pithead vendible coal stocks rose 6.77% to 42.87 million tons (mt) on the last day of December 2015 against 40.15 mt as on the last day of December 2014, according to provisional data available with ICMW.
On a month-on-month basis, India’s pithead vendible coal stocks were up 10.92% from 38.65 mt recorded as on the last day of November 2015.
The increase could be attributed primarily to higher pithead vendible stocks of Coal India (CIL) subsidiaries such as Eastern Coalfields Ltd (ECL), Northern Coalfields Ltd (NCL) and South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) where inventories rose to 2.55 mt (1.56 mt on the same day last year), 4.19 mt (1.54 mt) and 8.09 mt (7.81 mt), respectively.
Pithead vendible stocks at captive coal mines dropped to 0.24 mt on December 31, 2015 from 1.34 mt on the same day a year ago. Stocks at Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) increased to 4.91 mt on December 31, 2015 from 2.50 mt as on December 31, 2014.
