The Coal Ministry is planning to engage consultants for “electricity tariff rationalisation,” according to TK Lahiry, Chairman, Bharat Coking Coal Ltd.

He was talking to reporters on the sidelines of a coal seminar organised by “mjunction” and Coal Consumers’ Association of India on Monday.

Though denied that the proposal is a new-avatar of the coal price pooling, Lahiry said that the aim was to bring a parity in tariff on electricity, generated either from imported or domestic fuel.
