Affordability of Lignite makes it a Winning Product Segment

The lignite product segment is anticipated to grow more than the other product segments due to its increasing usage in the iron, power, and steel industries. This growth will be supported by the low cost of production involved in setting up lignite-fired power plants. Furthermore, it also happens to be the most affordable product and has a low calorific value.

The biggest hurdle in the demand for lignite is the transportation challenge due to the high content of moisture present in lignite. However, coal traders are overcoming this obstacle by setting up their power plants close to the mines. With this scenario, the lignite coal product segment is anticipated to expand at 3.04% CAGR in the same forecast period.
