India to save Rs 30,000 crore in FY16 by cutting down coal imports

This year, imports are already down by 16% resulting in savings of Rs 22,000 crore so far. India will save Rs 30,000 crore in 2015-16 by cutting down on coal imports as domestic production has picked up. The government is aiming to completely eliminate the import of the kind of coal that is available domestically. Coal India, the state-run company that is the largest coal producer in the country, plans to double its production to 1 billion tonne by 2020. It would have scaled up production to 550 million tonne which is likely to increase to 600 million tonne next year. Typically, Indian coal is almost 40% cheaper than imported coal. India has been importing coal as Coal India was unable to match growing demand. Source:- India to save Rs 30,000 crore in FY16 by cutting down coal imports - The Economic Times
