About the Indian Coal Markets Conference
While India is closing in on its 1 billion tons of production landmark, the domestic coal industry is undergoing a sea change. Rapid growth in output from captive and commercial mines, application of cutting-edge technologies, efficient logistics network, setting up of a (proposed) coal exchange and deregulation of pricing are throwing the sector open, gradually and consistently! These transformative moves will not only lead to competitive pricing, but also better allocation of resources, thus unlocking India’s vast coal reserves and creating new opportunities for economic growth and employment.
To capture the essence of these exciting times, mjunction services limited is going to organise the 18th Indian Coal Markets Conference at Taj Bengal in Kolkata on March 3-4, 2025. The theme of this year's conference has been chosen as Future of coal: Towards a free market.
