Northern Appalachian premium bituminous steam coal, imported directly for high-temperature furnace applications and cement kilns.
Our USA Northern Appalachian (NAPP) coal is sourced from highly structured mines located in the eastern United States. Known for its exceptional thermal stability, low inherent ash, and high heat release profile, it is imported in large Panamax bulk shipments to port terminals on the Western Coast of India.
The coal is processed under strict quality controls to maintain consistent size distributions (0-50mm), which prevents fuel clogging in automated industrial pulverizers and grate systems.

NAPP Coal stands for Northern Appalachian coal, sourced from the eastern basin of the USA. It is a high-grade bituminous thermal coal known for its high GCV, low ash content, and superior grindability index (HGI), which makes it easy to crush and burn with maximum heat output.
GCV ADB (Air Dried Basis) represents the gross heat capacity measured in a lab setting where surface moisture is dried off. NAR ARB (Net As Received Basis) represents the actual usable heat energy inside a boiler, subtracting the latent energy lost to evaporating the coal's natural moisture during combustion.
We handle major import discharges through Kandla Port and Tuna Port in Gujarat. These ports provide deep draft berths capable of handling large bulk carriers and feature massive custom-cleared stockyards for onward road and rail transit.
We typically supply in bulk rake shipments via Indian Railways (approx. 2,500+ MT per rake) or consolidated trailer fleets (minimum order is 100+ MT from port stockyards). Please coordinate with our sales desk to check stockyard availability.
