Adani Enterprises (AEL), the country's largest coal importer-turned-domestic private mine developer-cum-operator (MDO), has abandoned plan to purchase cargo ships for coastal shipping of coal as thermal power plants across India are worried for fuel. The company has decided to hire a logistics service provider (LSP) instead of buying a cargo ships.
Earlier AEL, whose revenues were Rs 26,000 crore in 2010-11, was aiming to have its own cargo ships to transport coal from the eastern Indian coal-rich states to the western states, provided that the company got fertilizers and other bulk cargo to take back on the return journey to make the integrated logistics business cost-effective but it has dropped the plan.
The company is now floating international tenders for selecting an LSP who will be responsible for delivery of coal by rail-sea-rail route to various thermal power plants. AEL already has two cargo ships to import coal from Indonesia for the power plants of Adani Power and Tata Power Company at Mundra. The LSP will be required to obtain the necessary approvals and transport coal from the AEL coal washery to thermal power plants.
