New UserNTPC saves Rs 550 crore/month on coal rationalistion, import control
19 Jul 2016
Stateowned NTPC has achieved savings of approximately 30 paise per unit
approximately Rs 550 crore per month on account of coal rationalisation and reduction in
imports of fossil fuel, Parliament was informed today.
"NTPC has achieved saving of approximately 30 paise per unit (approximately Rs 550
crore/month) due to rationalisation of coal linkage and reduction of imports," Power and Coal
Minister Piyush Goyal informed the Rajya Sabha.
Further, due to various efficiency measures, including reduction in grade slippage, specific
coal consumption (coal consumed per unit) in the first quarter of 201617 has come down by
2.9 per cent as against the same quarter in the previous fiscal, the minister said.
The minister further said the government has taken various measures in order to ensure
synergy between power and coal sectors.
The coal availability, he said, is regularly monitored at the highest level, resulting in increased
supply of domestic coal. The blocks have been allotted to certain power utilities to improve
domestic coal availability and 100 per cent crushed coal is supplied from Coal India.
Coal India, he said, will supply 100 per cent washed coal of G10 grade and above from
October 1, 2018, as per environment ministry guidelines.
"The amount of coal imported during 201314, 201415 and 201516 was 166.86 mt (million tonnes), 217.78 mt and 199.88 mt
(provisional), respectively," he said.
