MT cost calculator

See what a fuel lead costs on FuelMantra

Estimate unlock cost from quantity × ₹5/MT and how many of your 100 Pro credits remain.

Same ₹5/MT rate applies to every fuel product child category (≈ 10 MT per credit). Credits are for buying leads only and are non-refundable. GST is not issued as credits.

Credits required
50

500 MT × ₹5/MT = ₹2,500 ≈ 50 credits · Coal

How credits required is calculated
  • 1Lead unlock rate is fixed at ₹5 per MT for every fuel child category (Coal, Biomass Briquettes, Agro Residues).
  • 2Unlock value in rupees = quantity (MT) × ₹5. Example: 500 × 5 = ₹2,500.
  • 3Against paid ₹5,000 we issue 100 credits, so 1 credit = ₹50 of lead-buy value (₹5,000 ÷ 100).
  • 4Credits required = unlock value ÷ ₹50. Example: ₹2,500 ÷ ₹50 = 50 credits (also ≈ 10 MT per credit).
Credits remaining
50

Credits remaining after this unlock. Credits are for lead buys only and are non-refundable.

How credits remaining is calculated
  • 1Start with your Pro credit balance — default 100 credits issued after paying ₹5,000 (GST is statutory and is not added to credits).
  • 2Subtract credits required for this unlock: 100 − 50 = 50 credits left in this example.
  • 3Remaining credits stay in your account for future lead unlocks only — they are non-refundable, non-cashable and cannot be used for anything except buying leads.
  • 4If remaining goes below zero, you do not have enough credits for this quantity — reduce MT or add more Pro credits (when top-up is available).

Reverse bidding for end-user buyers

End-user buyers can run a reverse bidding event — 100% identical in process intent to what SAP Ariba offers for live competitive quoting. Share an invite link with vendors; watch real-time quoted prices as they participate. This is a separate process from Pro lead credits, sold as a pay-per-usage package. Register interest below — the live bidding engine ships separately.

Invite link Live vendor quotes Ranked price view Buyer-controlled event Pay per usage
  1. Create event — define fuel (coal / briquettes / agro), MT, delivery, GCV/GAR/NAR basis and bid window.
  2. Share invite link — send secure participation links to shortlisted or open vendors.
  3. Vendors bid live — suppliers submit and revise quotes during the open window (Ariba-style reverse auction flow).
  4. See real-time prices — buyer dashboard shows ranked live quotes without revealing unnecessary vendor identity rules you configure.
  5. Award & close — select preferred bid; commercial follow-up stays between buyer and vendor. Platform usage billed per event / package.
Pay-per-usage package

Separate from ₹5,000 Pro credits. Interested buyers can register interest for reverse-bidding usage packages; pricing and event limits will be confirmed at launch.

Real problems on the ground

Pain points across the fuel value chain

Why consumers, traders, manufacturers and aggregators struggle with traditional sourcing — and how FuelMantra’s Pro credits + ₹5/MT unlocks respond to each.

Pain points of consumers (end users)

Industries · Boilers · Furnaces
  • Unreliable fuel supply — grades, GCV and moisture often differ from what was promised on the phone.
  • Heavy dependence on a few local traders; hard to discover alternate coal / briquette / agro sellers quickly.
  • No visibility of quantity and location before paying for contacts on generic B2B portals.
  • Annual marketplace subscriptions cost lakhs even when monthly fuel intake is irregular.
  • Slow email-only enquiries; boiler downtime risk when a shipment slips.
  • Difficulty comparing landed cost across regions without calling dozens of unknown numbers.

How FuelMantra helps

Post a buy RFQ free after Pro registration. See MT, location and price before unlock. Pay only ₹5/MT from your 100 credits.

  • Multi-channel seller alerts in minutes
  • Fuel-only focus — coal, biomass, agro
  • No commission on the deal you close

Pain points of traders

Port · Inland · Yard desks
  • Demand is scattered across WhatsApp groups; genuine industrial RFQs get lost in noise.
  • Working capital locked in inventory while finding offtake for coal or briquettes takes days.
  • Competitors on general portals bury fuel leads under unrelated B2B categories.
  • High fixed portal fees that do not scale with actual MT traded in a month.
  • Limited digital presence — buyers cannot verify grades, locations or stock credibility online.
  • Seasonal agro residue windows close before the right buyer is found.

How FuelMantra helps

Post buy & sell RFQs free as Pro. Unlock counterparty contacts at ₹5/MT. Get a Pro mini website for desk visibility.

  • Tonne-priced unlocks match trade maths
  • Qualified multi-channel lead broadcast
  • 100 credits against ₹5,000 — leads only

Pain points of manufacturers

Briquette plants · Processors
  • Plant capacity idle when offtake for finished briquettes or processed fuel is irregular.
  • Raw-material (agro feedstock) prices and availability swing seasonally with poor forward visibility.
  • Hard to reach industrial end users outside the local radius without a costly sales team.
  • Buyers ask for samples and specs but discovery still happens via informal calls and brokers.
  • Generic directories list “biomass” without MT, delivery region or grade — wasted follow-ups.
  • No simple digital storefront tied to live RFQ demand on a fuel-specialist marketplace.

How FuelMantra helps

Sell finished fuel and source feedstock leads on one portal. Free posting after Pro. Mini website to showcase plant and grades.

  • Match with end users & traders by MT
  • Unlock demand at ₹5/MT
  • Stay visible when industrial demand spikes

Pain points of aggregators

Residue · Collection · Consolidation
  • Seasonal collection peaks (mustard husk, rice husk, cotton stalk) with no ready bulk offtake lined up.
  • Small village lots are hard to monetise without consolidating MT and finding industrial buyers fast.
  • Payment and logistics uncertainty when dealing only through informal middlemen.
  • Storage risk — aggregated residue degrades or occupies space while buyers delay decisions.
  • Limited reach beyond one district; pan-India industrial demand stays invisible.
  • Cannot justify expensive annual B2B subscriptions for a few peak months of trade.

How FuelMantra helps

Post seasonal sell RFQs free as Pro. Unlock industrial and trader buyers by the tonne. Credits scale with the parcel you actually sell.

  • ₹5/MT — pay for MT you unlock

FAQ

Fuel knowledge FAQs

20 common questions on coal & solid fuels — including GCV, GAR and NAR definitions used in trade RFQs.

GCV (Gross Calorific Value), also called Higher Heating Value (HHV), is the total heat energy released when a unit mass of fuel is completely burned, including the heat recovered from condensing the water vapour formed during combustion. GCV is commonly expressed in kcal/kg or MJ/kg and is a primary grade parameter in coal, biomass briquette and agro residue trade.

GAR means Gross Calorific Value on an As Received basis. It is the GCV of the fuel as it is received by the buyer — including total moisture as present in the shipment. GAR is widely used in steam coal contracts because it reflects the energy content of the coal in the condition it arrives at the plant or port, before laboratory drying corrections.

NAR means Net Calorific Value on an As Received basis (also related to Lower Heating Value / NCV). It is the heat available after subtracting the latent heat that cannot be recovered because water vapour from combustion and fuel moisture leaves with the flue gas. NAR is typically lower than GAR and is often preferred for boiler efficiency and power-generation calculations.

Both are “as received” basis values. GAR is gross (includes latent heat of condensation in the calorimetry definition); NAR is net (excludes that recoverable latent heat). For the same coal sample, NAR is always lower than GAR. Traders and plants must quote the same basis — mixing GAR and NAR prices causes costly misunderstandings.

A commonly used approximate conversion for coal is: NAR ≈ GAR − [effective moisture & hydrogen correction]. Many desks use industry thumb rules or ISO/ASTM formulas involving total moisture and hydrogen. Always confirm the exact formula and lab standard (ISO / ASTM / BIS) stated in the RFQ or contract.

As Received means the analysis is reported on the fuel including its total moisture as sampled when received — not dried. AR values (GAR/NAR) are practical for commercial settlement because they match the physical cargo the buyer pays for by tonne.

ADB (Air Dried Basis) reports results after the sample’s surface moisture is removed by air drying to equilibrium in the lab, but inherent moisture remains. ADB calorific values are higher than AR for the same coal because total moisture is lower. Contracts must specify AR vs ADB clearly.

Dry Basis (DB) excludes all moisture. DAF (Dry Ash Free) excludes moisture and ash, showing the calorific value of the combustible organic matter only. DAF is useful for comparing coal quality theoretically, but commercial Indian steam coal deals more often use GAR/NAR AR.

Boiler steam generation and heat rate depend on the energy in each tonne of fuel. Buying coal or biomass below the required GCV raises specific fuel consumption, increases ash handling, and hurts generation cost. Right fuel at the right price (matching required GCV/GAR/NAR) is key for efficient power generation.

Imported and domestic steam coals traded for industry/power often fall roughly in the 3,500–6,500 kcal/kg GAR band (and corresponding NAR), depending on origin and grade. Always verify the exact GAR/NAR and rejection limits in the purchase order — ranges vary widely by mine and blend.

Total moisture is surface + inherent water in the fuel. Higher moisture lowers AR calorific value (GAR/NAR), adds freight cost per useful heat unit, and can cause handling, freezing or spontaneous heating issues. Moisture is a core rejection parameter in coal and biomass contracts.

Ash is the incombustible mineral residue left after complete combustion. High ash reduces effective heat per tonne, increases slagging/fouling risk, and raises ash disposal cost. Briquettes and agro residues also carry ash limits that affect boiler suitability.

Sulphur in fuel forms SO₂/SO₃ on combustion, driving emissions compliance, corrosion and FGD cost. Many industrial and power buyers specify maximum sulphur %. Always declare sulphur in RFQs for coal grades.

Volatile matter is the portion that vaporises on heating (excluding moisture); fixed carbon is the solid combustible residue. VM and fixed carbon influence ignition, flame length and burnout behaviour in boilers and furnaces — important when switching between coal and biomass.

Biomass briquettes are densified agro/forestry residues (e.g. sawdust, mustard husk blends) pressed into blocks or cylinders for boiler fuel. GCV is still quoted in kcal/kg; buyers also check moisture, ash, size (e.g. 90 mm), density and binder type. Trade may use AR or ADB — confirm the basis on the RFQ.

Agro residues are crop wastes used as solid fuel or feedstock — mustard husk, rice husk, cotton stalk, groundnut shell, bagasse, etc. They are seasonal, variable in moisture/ash, and often aggregated before industrial offtake. Calorific value and moisture must be stated clearly in sell RFQs.

Compare useful heat cost (₹ per useful Gcal/Gcal from GAR or NAR), moisture, ash, sulphur, slagging tendency, feeding system compatibility, storage fire risk, and logistics. A lower ₹/MT biomass can still be costlier per useful heat if GCV is low or moisture is high.

MT means Metric Tonne (1,000 kg). On FuelMantra, lead unlock charges are ₹{{ $fmPerMt }} per MT of the RFQ quantity for any fuel child category, debited from Pro credits.

Fuel type (coal / briquettes / agro residue), grade or origin if known, quantity in MT, delivery location, required or offered GAR or NAR (with units), moisture/ash/sulphur limits if critical, packing/size for briquettes, and whether price is on call or indicated ₹/MT. Clear basis (GAR vs NAR, AR vs ADB) avoids disputes.

Never compare a GAR offer with a NAR requirement without converting. Ask the counterparty for the lab standard, sampling point (load port / discharge / plant), and rejection band. On FuelMantra, state the calorific basis in your RFQ text so matched traders respond on the same terms.
