Indonesia, South Africa aim to regain lost share in Indian coal market

Top coal exporters Indonesia and South Africa are aiming to ramp up supplies of thermal coal to key buyer India, company executives said, as they look to regain market share in the world's second largest import market for the fuel. Indonesia and South Africa are top suppliers of thermal coal to India, but have lost market share in recent years to the United States, Russia and Australia due to major changes in trade routes over geopolitical concerns.
