NEW DELHI, July 16 (Reuters) - PTC India Ltd (PTCI.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) hopes to buy a coal mine in Indonesia by March, its chief T.N. Thakur said on Wednesday at a conference.

"There is a possibility that we may acquire a coal mine in Indonesia. We are talking to a Singapore-based firm, Asian Infra," Thakur said.

After purchase of the mine in Indonesia, it would look at Africa and Australia for coal mines, he added.
