India Coal Outlook Conference 2022
Supply shortfall from major exporting geographies, geopolitical turmoil and sanctions and the unprecedented surge in prices have roiled the global coal market. In India, despite the government’s pledge to cut down imports, domestic supply squeeze have pushed key industries to the brink forcing the government to rethink.
CoalMint’s India Coal Outlook Conference brings together on one podium stakeholders from the entire coal value chain to deliberate on the pressing issues of the day. The event will feature thought-provoking sessions on domestic end-users’ perspectives on the unfolding supply scenario, technical and logistical hurdles to raising dispatches as well as policy measures intended to address the current impasse.
Watch out for brainstorming sessions on global trade dynamics, outlook on steelmaking coal demand and investment dynamics as well as clean coal technologies and decarbonisation challenges.
What lies ahead? Where are coal prices headed? Will domestic production keep up pace with demand in 2022? How will imports pan out for the rest of the year? Find out at the India Coal Outlook Conference on 3-4 August, 2022 to be held at the Lalit, New Delhi.
