Domestic coal supply to be made on proportional basis: Power Ministry
Production in captive coal mines allotted to power plants may be maximised to the limit permitted by the Ministry
Using this facility, states will be able to utilise their coal linkage in plants closer to mines, which can then transmit electricity reducing, the need to transport coal.
(File) The power Ministry on Saturday said it will not be possible to supply coal other than on proportionate basis to make up any shortfall.
The Ministry of Power in a statement said it is monitoring the coal supply situation in the country and has taken steps to ensure adequate coal supply and coal stocks based on the domestic coal received from Coal India Ltd (CIL), Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) and captive coal mines.
As per the decision taken in the ministry in consultation with state gencos, IPPs (independent power producers) and central gencos, domestic coal supply will be made proportional to the coal received from CIL/SCCL for all the gencos and it will not be possible to give more coal other than on proportionate basis to make up any shortfall, it added.
