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.

“Indian & Chinese buyers are still dominating Indoensian coal market, the trend will continue as the demand from India & China is continuing high’ said, another producer of coal in Indonesia.



Indian buyers are looking for higher GCV coal rather than lower GCV coal. “Chinese buyers were also looking for coal with calorific value 6100 to 6300 GAD” a Surabaya based coal broker said. Most of the inquiries from China were based  on CIF basis where’s Indian inquiries were on FOB vessel. 

Indonesian big scale coal mine owners were already covered their shipments until the end of this year or having less cargo for spot market. Hence Indonesian coal prices are standing at stable to steady status. Indonesian coal price reference, which was declared by Ministry of Energy of Indonesia was up by 2.92 percent in October to US$ 92.68 per ton. Indonesian suppliers were required to refer the HBA when they conclude the deals with domestic as well as International buyers.
