BEIJING : China's coal imports rose 12.2 per cent in September from a month earlier as lower Indonesian coal prices and tighter domestic supply spurred buying.
Coal imports totalled 33.05 million tonnes last month, up from 29.46 million tonnes in August and last September's 32.88 million tonnes, data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Monday.
