IMC wants MoP/CEA to draft report on coal/rejects allocation

December 17: The first meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC), constituted for the formulation of a policy on allocation of coal/rejects for washery rejects-based power plants, has decided that the Ministry of Power (MoP) or Central Electricity Authority (CEA) would prepare a report on the issue.

The report from CEA and MoP would indicate the various technical details, such as the required GCV of washery rejects to be consumed by such power companies as well as ROM coal.

The committee further said the report could also suggest the normative quantities required by such units, keeping in view the availability of washery rejects from CIL sources and their heat value.

The panel also proposed that the report be sent to the Ministry of Coal within a week.
