State-run Steel Authority of India (SAIL) is looking at acquiring licenses for coking coal mines abroad to protect itself from fluctuating raw material prices, its chairman S.K. Roongta said on Tuesday.

The company is in talks with firms in Australia, New Zealand, Mozambique and Indonesia, Roongta said.

“We are looking at both operational and exploration licenses. We are looking to secure 30-40% of our coking coal needs through acquisitions,“ he said.

The company`s annual coking coal requirement stands at 15 million tonnes, he said.
