A Reuters report reveals that India’s SAIL piloted a 1‑tonne coking coal shipment from Mongolia, proposing air freight to test quality quickly, with plans for a 75,000‑ton shipment depending on results. This move reflects India’s strategy to diversify away from traditional sources like Australia, and Mongolia’s increase in market reach for coal exports.
QARAS Perspective:
This trial underscores Mongolia’s growing recognition as a cost-competitive supplier of high-grade coking coal. Logistics may be complex, but QARAS’s deep expertise in cross-border routing, rail, road (or even air) means we can deliver fast-sample shipments and scale to full contracts into China, and regionally. Our in-country network reduces trial risks and accelerates path-to-contract for clients.
