Coal India can be substantially benefited from rising coal prices and thus it can be considered for investment not only for price appreciation but from good dividends also.
Chinese mine safety authorities have issued flood precautions to coal producers as the country enters its rainy season. This is likely to curtail coal output further at a time when the prospect of tighter supplies during the high-demand summer season has pushed Beijing to repeatedly call for producers to raise output.
The flood precautions may derail efforts by Chinese premier Li Keqiang to encourage a production ramp-up in the face of looming shortages as the country grapples with rapidly rising summer consumption and difficulties in securing sufficient seaborne coal.
