- Introduction to the Coking Coal Industry
India stands out as a growth market, with steelmakers like Tata Steel, JSW, JSPL, and AMNS expanding capacity - JSW targeting 42 million tonnes by 2027, Tata Steel reaching 26.6 million tonnes by 2025, JSPL aiming for 15.9 million tonnes by 2026, and AMNS adding 1.5 million tonnes by late 2025. Smaller players like Shyam Metallics also boost demand with new coke ovens. The Russia-Ukraine war since 2022 continues to impact energy and coal markets, driving supply chain adjustments. The industry is characterized by its dependence on steel cycles, concentrated supply from Australia and China, and a shift toward cleaner production methods.
