Indonesia shipped 0.23 per cent more coal to India in October compared to country's September exports of 8.42* million tons. India imports are from mostly low calorific value coal from Indonesia, a trader familiar with Indian coal exports says.

"Low calorific value power plant coal of Indonesian origin is still dominating Indian market compare to Chinese market", said a coal exporter from Sumatra Island of Indonesia. Indian coal importers, particularly traders are importing Indonesian ultra-low calorific coal for blending purpose with South African and American high calorific value coal.

In Indonesia, coals with as-received heat contents in excess of 5300 kcal/kg (gar) are generally classified as bituminous coals while coals with as-received heat contents of 4100 to 5300 kcal/kg (gar) are classified as sub-bituminous coals and below 4100 kcal/kg (gar) coals are classified as sub-bituminous "C" grade.

Indonesian Coal Price Reference
According to the Indonesian mining law 4/2009, all coal miners in Indonesia to require to follows the government declared coal prices (HBA) when they conclude a coal sale and purchase contract with their buyers.

The Director General of Mineral and Coal’s declared the minimum selling price for Indonesian coal for November delivery was slightly higher than October' price.

The reference price is to be used by coal producers for all spot and term contracts.

This coal benchmark price is stated as using a formula based on the index average of ICI-1 (Indonesia Coal Index), Platts-5900, Newcastle Export Index, and global Coal Index. The assessment basis of the coal price reference was calculated considering coal with GCV 6,322kcal/kg (GAR), Total Moisture (AR) 8.00%, Total Sulphur 0.8% (AR), Ash Content 15% (AR) and delivery Free on Board (FOB) Vessel basis.

The government declared HBA for November up 1.98% per cent month on month and down 4.06% year on year.

The Ministry of Energy & Mineral Resources of Indonesia sets the coal’s spot price benchmark for November 2013 delivery at US$ 78.13 per ton (basis 6322 GAR coal), which was US$ 1.52 higher than October 2013 price or US$ 3.31 lower compared to the same period in 2012. The bench mark price for coal for December loading is expected to be released by Director General of Mineral and Coal any time this week.

Royalty Increase; Export Duty
According to available information, the Indonesian government is studying a proposal to increase royalty on coal as well as to introduce an export duty for coal next year. Government is also studying another proposal to restrict coal loading ports in Indonesia to implement better monitoring system to eliminate illegal mining.
