State to not import coal for thermal plants
01 Oct 2022 Editorial Team
The government of Madhya
Pradesh has decided not to
import coal for its thermal
power plants. MP Power
Generating Company (MP
Genco) had invited tenders to
import 750,000 tonne coal in
May 2022. Later, the Union
government asked states to
provide their requirements to which would import
them and distribute them to
states that had not yet issued
tenders for imports. To deal
with 'coal scarcity,' this coal was
to be mixed with indigenous
coal (10 per cent imported +
9 per cent local).
