Indian Coal Markets Conference to begin on Sunday

Kolkata, Aug 30 (IBNS): The annual Indian Coal Markets Conference completes a decade in 2016 with its latest meet scheduled from Sep 4 to 6 in Kolkata.

Every year, this international conference is attended by Indian policymakers, coal producers, coal traders, mine developers and operators, shipping & logistics companies, coal technology providers, analysts and the consumers of coal from all sectors such as cement, power, steel and paper.

The 2016 edition organized by mjunction, a joint venture between steel behemoths Tata Steel and SAIL and the country’s largest e-marketplace for coal and steel, aims to highlight the challenges in the coal segment this year and bring about a resolution for the same.

There will be the interactive sessions with the industry experts regarding the changing dynamics of the coal industry over the past year – the domestic increase in coal production, sudden fall in demand, delay in production from captive coal blocks, international prices and import of coal, non-renewable and renewable parity, power sector performance, logistics, and competition with solar power alternatives.

With its years of experience in tracking and research of the coal market – demand, consumption, stocks, prices, imports, etc – as conducted via the ‘India Coal Market Watch’ monthly reports and ‘Coal Insights’ printed reports, mjunction remains clued to the current market issues.

Also, in association with the Cement Manufacturers’ Association, mjunction will be holding the 6th Indian Coal Markets Awards Night wherein they will be giving away awards to the industry participants, under various service categories, including Coal Importer, Coal Port Performer, Coal Inspection Agency, and Coal Mining Contractor.

Some of key speakers at the event will be –
• Vinaya Verma- Vice President at mjunction Service Ltd
• Partha S Bhattacharya - former Chairman of CIL
• Sutirtha Bhattacharya – Chairman CIL
• Vivek Bhardwaj – Jt Secretary, Ministry of Coal
• K.K Sharma - Director of Operations NTPC Ltd
• Gareth Carpenter – Platts International
• Howard Gatiss - CEO CMC Group
• R.K Sachdev – Coal Preparatory Society of India

• John Kearsey - Simpson Spence and Young
• H.S Bajwa – Director TT Railway Board,

J.P Mohapatra, Jt Secretary, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Asim Thakurta, VP-CMG Tata Power and a few other ministerial guests are expected to attend to the event.

According to the organisers, sponsored by eminent service providers in the industry such as BGR Mining and Infra, Geo Chem & Insmart Systems, this is the only extensive platform that caters to the consumer organizations to know about the prevalent trends in this particular industry – the production, consumption, demand, prices and global situations, by hearing from the top policymakers.
