1) Cement production in India is growing at a muted 4.5% annually and is constrained by capacity utilization of 70% and issues in real estate and infrastructure funding. Coal production is increasing to meet domestic demand while coal imports have declined.
2) Domestic production of petroleum coke is rising as refineries use cheaper, heavier crude oil. Consumption is growing as cement plants switch to the higher calorie petroleum coke. Imports of petroleum coke have also increased significantly.
3) Additional domestic petroleum coke production capacity of nearly 4 million tons is planned or under construction. Global dynamics like increased availability from the US and policy changes in China could further increase imports to India.

Increase in domestic pet coke production as refineries are using cheaper and heavier
crude oil.
Consumption rising as cement plants switch to higher cv pet coke. Railway logistics being
constrained means using pet coke is a better option when compared to lower cv coal.

Argus Asian Petroleum Coke - 2016
Supply from US/Canada will continue; Shale oil produces medium
sulphur pet coke. Heavier Canadian crude is locked to US refineries;
Chinese uncertainty: Imposition of sulphur constraints in China will mean
that cargo might be diverted to India;
Increased pet coke production within India will mean that domestic
availability might start setting the price bottoms;
As Coal India continues to increase production, government might use
pricing and policy to curtail pet coke imports; Commercial mining might
further affect the pet coke dynamics;
