随着能源需求量不断增长，印度煤炭进口量也在与日俱增。近日印度政府宣布，到2017年印度需要进口煤炭1.85亿吨以满足其日益增长的需求。

With the growing demand for energy，Coal India imports also in growing。Recently the Indian government announced，In 2017 India needs to import coal 185 million tons in order to meet its growing demand。

　　在日前公布的《2012-2017能源计划草案》中，印度政府称煤炭需求量的快速增长给印度煤炭生产带来很大压力。如果印度煤炭产量无法以每年7.5%的速度增长，那么印度煤炭需求将不得不大量依赖进口，煤炭进口压力也将飙升。

In announced a few days ago《2012-2017 energy draft plan》in，The Indian government says the rapid growth of demand for coal India to bring a lot of pressure coal production。If India's coal production can't rising at an annual rate of 7.5%，So demand for coal India will have to rely on import a lot，Coal import pressure also will soar。

　　尽管印度煤炭储量位居世界第五，但大部分都位于森林地区，因此开采面临极大的环境压力。在过去5年里，印度煤炭需求量以每年8%的速度增长，但煤炭产量的增长速度仅为4.61%，产量远不及需求增长的速度。

Although India coal reserves ranks in the fifth，But most are located in forest areas，So mining face great pressure on the environment。In the past five years，India coal demand rising at an annual rate of 8%，But coal output growth slowed to just 4.61%，Yield than demand growth speed。

　　印度最大的煤炭生产及供应商印度煤炭公司7月17日宣布，公司2012-2013财年煤炭产量将达到4.64亿吨，以满足快速增长的国内煤炭需求。但外界普遍对其能否达成这一产量目标表示怀疑。公司2011-2012财年煤炭产量目标为4.47亿吨，但最后未能达成，实际产量仅为4.35亿吨。

India's largest coal production and suppliers India coal company announced on July 17，The 2012-2013 fiscal year coal output will reach 464 million tons，In order to meet the rapid growth of the domestic demand for coal。But the widespread to its can reach the target yield are skeptical。The 2011-2012 fiscal year yield target for 447 million tons of coal，But failed to reach a final，The actual yield only for 435 million tons。

　　面对上扬的煤炭需求，印度政府只得将目光放在提高煤炭进口量上。但是想要大幅提高煤炭进口量也不是件容易的事情，印度还面临着一些挑战。在《2012-2017能源计划草案》中，政府称未来全球煤炭需求量会持续增长，供应也会更加紧张。另外，由于包括澳大利亚和印度尼西亚在内的数个主要煤炭生产国都提高了煤炭税率，因此未来煤炭价格很有可能保持高位。（

Facing rising demand for coal，The Indian government had to set his sights on improving coal imports。But to increase coal imports also is not easy to do，India is also facing some challenges。in《2012-2017 energy draft plan》in，The government says the next global coal demand will continue to grow，Supply will be a more nervous。In addition，Because including Australia and Indonesia, several major countries improve coal production coal tax rate，Therefore the future coal prices are likely to remain high。（
