India's steel mills supporting global met coal demand

India imports drop

India’s coking coal imports fell to 2.84 mt in June, down from 3.18 million tons (mt) in May, provisional data showed.

During the April-June period of the current fiscal coking coal imports by India fell 28.29 percent to 9.25 mt, according to provisional data with Coal Insights. Meanwhile, metallurgical coke import offers declined in July on low demand in China and India.

Sufficient supply in China and continuation of lockdown in some regions of India led to low demand and production. Onset of monsoons in India has also hampered production and supplies.

However, with government mostly in the unlock mode in India, demand and production is set to pick up by the Q3 FY21, according to analysts. This may lead to higher consumption of steel and steelmaking raw materials, they observed.

Metallurgical coke imports by India decreased by 56 percent to 372,076 tons during April-June quarter, compared to 849,381 tons in the corresponding quarter of the last fiscal, according to data collected from 31 ports.
