MONNET ISPAT & ENERGY LIMITED ACQUIRES INDONESIAN COAL COMPANY THROUGH ITS SUBSIDIARY MONNET GLOBAL LIMITED


Monnet Global Limited (MGL) acquires PT Sarwa Sembada Karya Bumi, Sumatra & on part exploration the reserves of 65 million tonne on Thermal Coal has been established.

MGL gets access to good grade coal with a coal to OB ratio of 1:3.5, having a very low sulphur content of mere 0.14%.

MGL becomes one of the very few Indian companies to be able to take over the prestigious Coal Contract of Works (CCOW) awarded by the Government of Indonesia.

MIEL through MGL will use this produce for its planned coast based Power Projects.

Plans to use coal for captive needs and also for selling the surplus in the open market which will be a long term source of revenue for the Company.

COALspot.com - Monnet Ispat & Energy Limited (MIEL) through its 100 % owned subsidiary Monnet Global Limited (MGL), completed the acquisition of Indonesian Coal Company – PT Sarwa Sembada Karya Bumi, at US$ 24 million in the Jambi province of Sumatra, Indonesia, according to the news posted in website of Monnet Ispat & Energy Limited

The news published in website further said that, the acquisition gives MGL, access to one of the largest Thermal Coal Mine spreading over an area of 25,000 hectares. Presently, only 1500 hectares out of the entire 25,000 hectares have been explored and the company has been able to establish 65 million tonne of coal reserves in the mine and expects these reserves to go up substantially after completing exploration of the total land area.

The prestigious Coal Contract of Works (CCOW) also called (Perjanjian Karya Pengusahaan Pertambangan Batubara) PKP2B, which was awarded, to PT Sarwa, by the Government of Indonesia, subsequent to the acquisition gets transferred to MGL, making it amongst the very few Indian companies to have CCOW.

Commenting on the successful conclusion of the agreement, Mr. Sandeep Jajodia, Executive Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Monnet Group said, “The acquisition of the Indonesian Coal Company PT Sarwa is of strategic importance for the Group as the logistic of the mine is excellent and being located in Sumatra, the shipping cost and low transit time to India will make the coal very cost effective. It will also provide, low cost fuel for our planned coast based Power Projects. We plan to mine more coal than required for our captive needs, for selling in the open market which will be a long term source of revenue, as there seems to be good potential for the reserves to go up substantially. The worldwide coal markets are expected to do very well in the coming years and especially India and China would remain strong buyers.”

“Keeping in mind the high coal prices, the valuation of such coal assets have gone up many folds in the recent times. We have been able to close the deal at a very low value as the agreement with PT Sarwa was initially executed in 2008 however the process and regulatory procedures for actual transfer took a long time to finally close the deal.” Mr. Jajodia further shared.
