Report Predicts Coal Demand by Power Sector to Grow 10% in India
Apr 07, 2008
According to new report, “Indian Coal Industry Outlook till 2012”, prepared by RNCOS, a leading market research firm, it is projected that coal demand for power sector will grow at a CAGR of nearly 10% during 2008-2012. Indian power sector heavily rely on thermal power stations for power generation, which are creating demand for coal in high quantity in the country.
In its 11th Five Year Plan, the Indian government has decided to increase per capita availability of power to over 1,000 units by 2012 that needs massive generation of power from various sources, including thermal power stations. To meet this target, both central and state governments depend upon the power produced from thermal stations. So the Indian government has framed an ambitious mission, “Power for All by 2012”, that would need installation of additional thermal power plants to generate 2,00,000 MW electricity, thereby boosting the demand for coal in the country.
According to a Senior Research Analyst at RNCOS, the Indian economy is expected to grow at the rate of more than 8% annually, which leads to high energy demand in coming years. Consequently, the Indian coal industry has good prospects for growth in future in all its segments including coking coal, and non-coking coal.
However, depleting non-renewable energy resources and rising environmental concerns are turning the interest of power sector away from coal. Therefore, the Indian government is focusing on utilization of renewable energy sources to generate electricity and to reduce the dependence of power sector on coal. For this, the government has already launched several programs, such as Green Initiative for Power Generation and Remote Village Electrification, says the RNCOS research.
Other than power, “Indian Coal Industry Outlook till 2012” has given in-depth analysis of rising demand for coal in steel, chemical, and fertilizer industries. It has provided extensive research and objective analysis on the fourth largest coal base in the world with focus on the driving forces, past and current market trends, future prospects, and challenges for the industry.
