1. TITLE OF THE PROJECT

“STUDY ON INDIA AS EMERGING COAL IMPORTER FOR MEETING THE LOCAL DEMAND OF POWER & CEMENT SECTOR”

2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

India now ranks third amongst the coal producing countries in the world. Being the most abundant fossil fuel in India till date, it continues to be one of the most important sources for meeting the domestic energy needs. The world currently consumes over 5522 Mt of hard coal. Coal is used by a variety of sectors – including power generation, iron and steel production, cement manufacturing and as a liquid fuel. The majority of coal is either utilized in power generation – steam coal or lignite – or iron and steel production – coking coal.

The issues are likely to come up for discussion during States’ Energy Ministers as amid the widening demand-supply deficit, the total demand by the power sector, including that from captive power plants, is expected to be 75 per cent of the total coal demand by 2017.
“If domestic supply does not match the target growth rate of 7.5 per cent per year, the import demand will be higher. The projected level of imports of around 185 MT is large keeping in mind that international trading in coal is only around 900-1,000 MT of the total consumption of over 6,000 MT world over.
“International prices of coal are also likely to remain high because of taxes which are being imposed by several coal producing countries, including Australia and Indonesia,” it added. The total demand of coal grew by about 8 per cent during the Eleventh Plan against the domestic production growth of only 4.61 per cent.
Most of the coking coal is being imported from Australia whereas for steam or non-coking coal Indonesia and South Africa is taken into consideration. Pricing of the coal in international market is not very clear as the data is not available publically. Also coal requirement (Include specification) by different industry is not very clear. Target market for the imported coal is mainly the factories located on the coastal area so that the logistic cost may be minimized.

3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

1. To find if India really dependent on the international market for the ever increasing coal demands in cement & power sector.
2. To find the feasibility if company directly import or through the state owned coal India.
3. To find the price after import will matter the India local market.
4. To find the quality of the imported coal with respect to Indian market & its requirements.

4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology in a way is a written game plan for conducting research. Research methodology has many dimensions. It includes not only the research methods but also considers the logic behind the methods used in the context of the study and complains why only a particular method of technique has been used. The basic task of research is to generate accurate information for use in decision making. Research can be defined as the systematic and objective process of gathering, recording and analyzing data for aid in making business decisions.

RESEARCH DESIGN:- The research design used in this study was both ‘Descriptive’ and ‘exploratory’.
DATA COLLECTION METHODS:

The data will be collected using both by primary data collection methods as well as secondary sources.

PRIMARY DATA: Most of the information will be gathered through primary sources. The methods that will be used to collect primary data are:
a) Questionnaire
b) Interview

SECONDARY DATA: Secondary data that will be used are web sites and published materials related to cloud educational portal.
The secondary data will be collected through:
a) Text Books
b) Magazines
c) Journals
d) Internet

SAMPLE SIZE: 100
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE:-
The technique used for conducting the study was convenience sampling technique as sample of respondents was chosen according to convenience.
Stastical Tools:

MS-EXCEL will use to prepare pie- charts and graphs and MS-WORD will use to prepare or write the whole project report.

REPORT WRITING AND PRESENTATION
Report Encompasses – Charts, diagrams

DATA ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION – Classification & tabulation transforms the raw data collected through questionnaire in to useful information by organizing and compiling the bits of data contained in each questionnaire i.e., observation and responses are converted in to understandable and orderly statistics are used to organize and analyze the data.

• Simple tabulation of data using tally marks.
• Calculating the percentage of the responses.
• Formula used = (name of responses / total responses) * 100

Graphical analysis by means of pie charts bar graphs etc.

5. COMPANY PROFILE

Coal India Limited (CIL) as an organized state owned coal mining corporate came into being in November 1975 with the government taking over private coal mines. With a modest production of 79 Million Tonnes (MTs) at the year of its inception CIL today is the single largest coal producer in the world. Operating through 81 mining areas CIL is an apex body with 7 wholly owned coal producing subsidiaries and 1 mine planning and Consultancy Company spread over 8 provincial states of India. CIL also fully owns a mining company in Mozambique christened as ‘Coal India Africana Limitada’. CIL also manages 200 other establishments like workshops, hospitals etc. Further, it also owns 26 technical & management training institutes and 102 Vocational Training Institutes Centres. Indian Institute of Coal Management (IICM) as a state-of-the-art Management Training ‘Centre of Excellence’ – the largest Corporate Training Institute in India – operates under CIL and conducts multi disciplinary management development programmes.

CIL having fulfilled the financial and other prerequisites was granted the Maharatna recognition in April 2011. It is a privileged status conferred by Government of India to select state owned enterprises in order to empower them to expand their operations and emerge as global giants. So far, the select club has only five members out of 217 Central Public Sector Enterprises in the country.
