Rationalization of Existing Coal Resources
The report of the Inter-Ministerial Task Force constituted under the Chairmanship of Joint Secretary, Ministry of Coal to consider the feasibility for rationalization of existing sources of coal supplies for power, cement and sponge iron units has recommended rationalization of existing sources in respect of 9 captive power plants / sponge iron plants / cement plants. It has also recommended rationalization of coal supply sources in respect of 12 power plants of Madhya Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Ltd (MPPGCL), Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Ltd (GSECL), Haryana Power Generation Corporation Ltd (HPGCL), Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), West Bengal Power Development Corporation Ltd (WBPDCL) and Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB). When implemented, these recommendations are likely to result in saving to the concerned power utilities on account of transportation costs.
Coal India Limited (CIL) has been advised to take necessary action for implementation of these recommendations, which will be done after due consultations with the stakeholders, he added
