According to Commodore Research, the Adani Group has recently purchased small amounts of Colombian thermal coal on the spot market. Mundra Port which is owned by Adani will be first in line to benefit, as at present Mundra is one of the few ports able to berth capesize vessels. However, there are number of expansion or new port projects under way. Adani is also developing Dahej which will give it a capacity of 25 million metric tons (mt) of bulk cargo annually. Indian thermal coal imports are expected to grow by as much as 25% this year.
