In 2015 fiscal year India spent USD 14 bln. for the coal import and this figure is expected to grow up to USD 25 bln. in 2016/17. The combination of the growing shortage for the current operations, the Indian currency exchange rate downfall, and the necessity to expand the infrastructure with the purpose to return the economy growth has persuaded the government to introduce a number of measures promoting the increase in the coal mining in India.
