Paradip’s steam coal exports dry up for 11 months
15 Feb 2016
Even as domestic production of steam coal is rising in India, most of it is getting consumed by the domestic user-industries. Consequently, there have been no steam coal exports through Paradip Port from February 2015-January 2016, as per provisional information available with ICMW.
In January 2015, a reduced volume of 16,300 tons had been exported against a heftier 32,400 tons in December 2014.
In both instances, the material had gone to Bangladesh.
