Abstract

The coal plays an important economic role in the energy equation of India as it provides 70% of power requirements for one of the fastest growing economy in Asia. The Permian coal represents 99% of thermal and coking coal of the country, and it is expected to dominate as the low cost and reliable energy source in comparison to rising price of the imported oil and gas. The geological setting, macerai distribution and trace elements distributions of major and moderate concerns are presented in the paper.
