India's thermal coal imports rose by 8 percent and coking coal imports by about 13 percent for the year to March 31, government data showed.

The value of India's coal imports rose by 38.2 percent to 1,384.77 billion rupees ($20.17 billion), the statistics wing of India's trade ministry said.
Higher Indian imports will be a boon for international miners such as Indonesia's Adaro Energy, Australia's Whitehaven Coal and global commodity merchants such as Glencore at a time when Asian coal prices are rising to multi-year highs.
Imports of thermal coal - mostly used for power generation - rose to 161.27 million tonnes for the year to March 31, from 149.31 million tonnes the precious financial year.
