Background

Indian coal imports are rising rapidly. From April 2008 through March 2009, the country imported 59 million metric tons (tonnes); from April 2009 through March 2010 imports rose 24 percent to 73.25 million tonnes. In February 2011, Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal projected that 2010/2011 imports would jump 70 percent to 142 million tonnes. India is dependent on a number of coal terminals to bring these imports into the country, as shown on the map below. For further information on mining, power sector companies, financing, environmental impacts, and other coal-related topics, see India and coal.
