India Diversifies Metallurgical Coal Sources Amid Australian Export Decline
India's steel sector faces challenges securing metallurgical coal amid declining Australian exports and rising costs. To address supply gaps, India is diversifying imports from Russia and the US, benefiting from discounted Russian coal, while increasing domestic production and exploring alternatives like scrap steel and green hydrogen. Despite reduced import bills, domestic output remains insufficient, leaving steelmakers exposed to global price fluctuations. Recent India-Australia energy talks reaffirm commitments to stable energy supplies amid these shifts.
