据能源世界网3月3日新德里报道，印度议会周一获悉，政府已采取了几项措施来确保国内钢铁行业的炼焦煤供应，并正在努力使原材料的进口来源多样化。虽然该国钢铁工业的另一个关键原材料铁矿石的产量足以满足当前的需求，但由于该国高质量焦煤（低灰煤）的供应有限，因此，除了进口焦煤外，别无选择，联合钢铁部长Dharmendra Pradhan在Lok Sabha回答询问时表示，国内生产并不能满足焦煤的全部需求。
Pradhan还表示，政府已采取了几项措施，以确保印度钢铁行业的炼焦煤供应。正在努力从美国，俄罗斯进口炼焦煤，以使炼焦煤的进口来源多样化。在2018-19年度期间，钢铁行业的炼焦煤总需求为5837万吨。
其中5183万吨是通过进口来满足的，160万吨是由巴拉特焦化煤炭有限公司（BCCL）和印度煤炭有限公司（CIL）提供的，其余的则由SAIL和塔塔钢铁公司垄断的煤矿提供。
两个炼焦煤矿Rohne和Rabodih被分配给中央公共钢铁企业NMDC和RINL。
