11 Jan 2024 CW Team

Coal India, a state-owned entity, has initiated the latest tranche of extending Fuel Supply Agreement (FSA) tenures. The significant development involves doubling the tenure to 10 years, compared to the earlier five years, specifically for the non-regulated sector.

This move is poised to bring greater stability and long-term assurance to consumers in industries outside the regulated domain, providing them with extended security in coal supply. The extension of the FSA tenure aligns with the broader goal of fostering reliability and consistency in the coal supply chain, crucial for various industries dependent on this energy source.

The decision reflects Coal India's strategic approach to cater to the evolving needs of industries and promote sustained growth. As the non-regulated sector gains an extended FSA tenure, it is anticipated to positively impact operational planning and investment decisions for businesses, contributing to overall industrial development. Observers will closely monitor the implications of this extended FSA tenure on the coal industry and its stakeholders.
