13 Jan 2015
January 13: Imports of steam coal by the Indian power utilities moved up 14.37% to 88.206 million tons (mt) during January-December, 2014 as compared to imports which stood lower at 77.124 tons during 2013 (January-December), as per provisional data of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) available with ICMW.
This year-on-year rise in imports is mainly attributed to higher imports by imported coal-based plants, the data revealed.
