The Ministry of Coal has asked coal companies to supply fuel to power plants commissioned after December 2012. This comes as a breather for nearly 8,100 MW of units commissioned, which do not have a fuel supply pact and are buying coal based on MoUs.
“The coal to these power plants will be supplied for the quantities to be decided in consultation with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) till the time FSAs for these plants are signed,” the Power Ministry said in a statement.
With this directive, the commissioned plants would be able to generate power without facing disruptions in coal supply, it added.
