Coal imports by India’s power, cement and steel companies fell 8.3 percent in August from a month earlier, according to data from the Interocean Group of Companies.

Companies including Adani Enterprises Ltd., Bhatia International Ltd. and JSW Energy Ltd. imported 9.9 million metric tons of steam and coking coal last month via 29 Indian ports, the New Delhi-based ship broker said in a document obtained by Bloomberg News. That’s down from the 10.8 million brought into the country in July.
