Analysis

April prices of high-sulfur imported petcoke increased by more than 13 percent MoM for both CFR East and West coasts of India, according to CW Research's April update of India Petcoke CFR price assessment.

Meanwhile, the price of mid-sulfur imported petcoke increased by 5.0 percent MoM on both coasts.

The monthly update sees the average cost of burning high sulfur petcoke on per unit of calorific value basis at a discount of 32 percent as compared to $1.28 per ton of Richards Bay coal for West Coast. In comparison, the average cost of burning high sulfur petcoke was at a discount of 39 percent in March.

ÔÇ£Avails for petcoke from the US and Saudi sources are currently very tight. Both exporting countries are fully booked until June. Indian buyers are willing to pay higher rates for petcoke cargoes given the limited supply," said Sushmita Rai, Sr. Associate Analyst, CW Group.

The April update of India Petcoke CFR price assessment also includes refinery news, shipping updates and coal market highlights.
