Key drivers with detailed profiles of Coal Washeries

2. Coal is the key contributor to the Indian energy portfolio. It contributes to nearly half of
commercial primary energy demand and one-third of total energy demand of the country.
Although, India is one of the leading producers and consumer of coal, Indian coal has
high ash content and embedded impurities, which needs washing and blending of coal
for improving the quality of Run-of-Mine (ROM) coal. The steel sector needs coking coal
with ash content of less than eighteen percent. Washing helps in reducing ash content by
seven to eight percent. Quality and environmental concerns are causing a shift towards
higher utilization of washed and blended coal. Presently nearly fifty-two commercial
washeries with installed capacity of about 131 MTPA are operating in the country.
In India, only about twenty percent of the coal produced is washed, as against the global
average of over fifty percent. Coking coal preparation has long been in operation in India;
however the trend of washing of non coking coal is also being seen. About twenty-three
percent of the installed capacity is for coking coal and the rest is for non-coking coal. Further,
as per the directives of MoEF, the power stations located at more than 1000 km away from
coal mines and those located in sensitive areas are required to use coal containing not more
than thirty-four percent of ash on annual average basis. The distance is expected to be
reduced to 500 km as per draft notification released by MoEF in July 2012.
Washing is carried out to reduce the ash content, and to lower the level of sulphur
and unwanted minerals present in coal. Washed coal has higher calorific value than
unwashed coal hence usage of washed coal helps in improving efficiency of steel,
cement and power plants. Out of total of 104 coal-based thermal power plants, only
thirty percent of power plants are using washed coal. Development of coal washeries
is not keeping pace with the demand of coal. The preliminary study on coal washery
market in India suggests that investment in coal washeries will increase exponentially in
the coming years and host huge opportunities for private players. Keeping this view in
the backdrop, InfralineEnergy is coming up with the report titled “Indian Coal Washing
Industry: Present & Future Developments – Key drivers with detailed profiles of
coal washeries”.

The report starts with the snapshot of coal washing industry in India with updated
analytical information on coal washeries, global scenario and PESTEL analysis of
macro-environment governing coal washeries. The report covers detailed analysis
and profiling of more than seventy-five existing and upcoming coal washery projects
developed by central, state and private sector players.
A typical project profile gives information about promoter details, technological overview,
description of coal supply linkage, development status, end-user plant status and other
details. The report also includes profiles of major coal washery developers and equipment
suppliers. The report would serve as an investment and information advantage to tap the
future opportunities. The prospective business entities can formulate their plans, devise
strategies and take proactive measures to position themselves suitably in the market.
