Monopoly in coal mining is what compels India to import coal from other countries. The state-run Coal India is the sole mining agency in India. The annual production from Coal India has not been enough to power India’s diverse industries. From cement industries to steel plants, numerous installations require coal on a daily basis to operate efficiently.

The factors that limit coal production are clearances and shortage of specialized transportation. The MD of Aggarwal Coal, Vinod Aggarwal, is redefining India’s coal imports in these testing times. With his business acumen, he has been able to import more than 15 million tonnes of coal from countries around the world.
