Instead of  dropping in exports to India in September 2010, “Indian buyers are still here, and an Indian demand it will continue,"  an exporter from East Kalimantan said. 

“The price expectation from buyers for Indonesian medium GCV coal from India was not in line with the expectation of sellers”, said another trader from India.

The trader further added that, “Indian demands for coal in this month is less comapred to month of September as a huge amount of imported coal was laying at Indian ports to transport.  “The Demand will be expecting to increase again in second half of next month", he added.
