Coal Ministry Advocates Pithead-based Thermal Projects for Coal India and NLC India
The Coal Ministry has directed Coal India Ltd (CIL) and NLC India Ltd to prioritize pithead-based thermal projects to diminish transportation costs and enhance the availability of coal. Coal Secretary Amrit Lal Meena highlighted the benefits of this approach, emphasizing reduced reliance on transportation through rail and road, lowered logistics costs, and enhanced accessibility of coal for power generation. CIL has inked a pact with Rajasthan Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (RUVNL) for a joint venture to establish 4,100 megawatts of power generation capacity in Rajasthan, with a significant portion being pithead-based.
