Seventeen grades across three continents — South African, Indonesian, and Indian domestic — supplied against Platts and Argus benchmarks with independent inspection at every hatch.
For twelve years, coal has been the backbone of the VAMM trading desk. We move upwards of fifteen million tonnes of thermal and coking grades a year, sourced from the world's most consistent producing basins and delivered into every major Indian discharge port.
Our coal book is structured — not opportunistic. We run term supply programmes quarter after quarter with anchor producers in Richards Bay, Kalimantan, and the Appalachian basin, backed by domestic linkage and e-auction coverage for peak-season flexibility.
Every shipment lands with SGS, CIQ or Bureau Veritas inspection at load, independent draft survey at discharge, and a full paper trail from origin to your plant weighbridge.
Boiler fuel for coal-fired IPPs and state utilities — Indonesian GAR grades and South African RB2/RB3 dominate this demand.
Prime hard coking coal and PCI for blast-furnace operations at India's integrated steel plants.
Kiln fuel and pet-coke substitute — high-CV South African and Indonesian grades preferred by India's cement belt.
Domestic Assam and Meghalaya coals for rotary-kiln sponge iron plants across eastern India.
High-carbon domestic coal for manganese, silicon and chrome ferro-alloy furnaces.
Captive power feedstock for fertilizer, chemical and petrochemical manufacturing.
Highest-grade export thermal coal from Richards Bay. Low-sulphur, low-ash, top NAR. Preferred by premium power generators.
The workhorse grade of Indian imports. Consistent calorific value, widely accepted combustion characteristics.
Budget-friendly grade for cement and medium-CV power applications without compromising reliability.
Sub-bituminous with high moisture — economical base-load power generation for coastal plants.
Mid-CV Indonesian — the bulk-movement grade between Kalimantan and India's east coast.
Mid-to-upper grade — preferred by IPPs seeking lower coal burn rates per MW generated.
Premium Indonesian — for high-efficiency boilers and cement plants. South Kalimantan and Sumatra origins.
High calorific, low-ash sub-bituminous coal from Assam's Makum and Ledo coalfields. Ideal for sponge iron and tea estates.
Central Indian bituminous coal — WCL sourced, used widely for power and cement across central and western India.
Singareni collieries — mid-to-high CV, consistent specification for southern Indian power and cement customers.
Every coal cargo we move is independently inspected at load-port and discharge-port by one of four internationally accredited inspection bodies. Draft-survey weight, sampling protocols and laboratory analysis follow ISO 13909 and ASTM D2234 standards.
Deviation from contracted specification triggers a documented price-adjust or reject protocol — contractually pre-agreed, so there is never ambiguity on a short-delivery.
Producer-level relationships at Richards Bay, Kalimantan and Appalachia — not layered through resellers.
Spec reliability backed by independent load-port inspection and a documented reject/price-adjust protocol.
Owned stevedoring capacity at four east-coast ports — no missed tides, no demurrage surprises.
Spot, term, tolling or risk-share — structured around your forecasting discipline, not ours.
Cash-first, family-owned, never over-leveraged. The house is the same whether the market is up or down.
A trading desk that picks up the phone when a vessel is delayed — not a port agent three days later.
