Coaltrans India 2008 will address:

Thermal Coal and PowerGenerationPlanned power production of100,000MW by 2012 will require notonly increased domestic production,but also the need to secure supplyfrom strategic overseas investmentsand long term contracts with majorinternational coal producers.Coaltrans India provides anin depth analysis of key challengesfacing thermal powered energygeneration in India today.

MetcoalIndia is expected to be thesecond-largest steel makingcountry in the world by 2016,tripling steel production to120million mt. How will Indiasecure the metallurgical coalneeded to feed steel demandin an increasingly tightmarket for raw materials?

India is, and will remain, heavily dependent on coal to meet its energyrequirements in an economy that is growing at 8% per year. In aclimate characterised by ambitious government projects to encourageincreased coal production and efficiency of usage, there is also a needto overcome the infrastructure and logistics challenges that areconstraining development. Coal consumption is anticipated torise by nearly 40% over the next five years, with acorresponding rise in coal imports to 53 million tonnesby 2011/2012 from current levels of around 30million tonnes. This increase to satisfyprojected demand from coastal UMPPs andgrowing merchant power projects, istaking place in a global marketwhere good quality coal resourcesare being chased by an everincreasing pool of potentialcustomers.

Coaltrans returns to India to brief the domestic andinternational coal communities on the new andexpanding opportunities in this dynamic market

2

Infrastructure and LogisticsGovernment plans to invest US$2bn to expand port capacity, and liberalised regulations forprivate sector investment in infrastructure reflect the call for much needed updating of the strainedport and railroad systems currently in place. The conference will examine infrastructureinvestment opportunities and assess the degree of infrastructure and logistics developments thatare needed to ensure that coal imports are not constrained.

Coal Block Mining OpportunitiesThe Government’s initiative to allocate coal blocks to private developers has been actively seizedbut this leads to critical questions of how to mine the coal in the most efficient manner by those

inexperienced in the coal mining business. Our dedicated stream on Coal MiningOperations and Economics will provide the key to understanding resources, effective

mining and the role of contractors for all those seeking to understand coal mineoperations in more depth.
