If Indian coal is used, the power plant will fall. Authorities have recommended those kinds of coal for Rampal.”In the international market, high quality coal is $70 per tonne and low-grade coal costs between $50-60 per tonne. In the previous years the amount of Indian coal import was 1.7 to 2 million tonnes. According to the Sylhet Coal Importers Association, Indian coal costs $85 per tonne or around Tk6,700. These low prices are the reason importers are diverting their attention away from Indian coal.
