Coal mining in India and US sanctions: A comment on G.D. Kalra

Pages 37-38 | Published online: 21 Nov 2008
 

Abstract

In an earlier issue of the journal G.D. Kalra commented on the coal mining sector of India in the post US sanctions period. He noted in particular that the infant private sector is in need of funds from abroad in their capital intensive coal mining ventures. However, the US sanctions following the nuclear device testing period, have failed these investments. The following comment by Simon Walker challenges this view, and notes that even with no sanctions the Indian coal sector would not represent a favourable location for private‐sector investment. In addition, the sanctions may have added to the problem of attracting foreign investors, but that is something that the Indian Government should have taken into consideration before it launched its series of nuclear tests.
