Coal India imports 3.58 lakh tonne of coal from Indonesia

Coal India (CIL) is set to procure approximately 3.58 lakh tonnes of coal from Indonesia through a vendor called GHV-BDE-DIL (JV) this year for the state's Thermal Power Plants (TPPs), including GENCOs and Independent Power Plants (IPPs).

The Minister of Coal, Mines and Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Pralhad Joshi, informed the Rajya Sabha on December 19, 2012, that CIL had placed orders for the supply of imported coal based on 'Firm Orders' and prior payment by various Power Generating Companies.

Data provided by the Ministry of Power indicated that 86% of the imported coal was utilised.

In light of the increasing electricity demand and the need to build coal stock at power plants before the monsoon, the Ministry of Power (MoP) advised power plants on April 28, 2022, to import coal for blending, which should constitute 10% of their coal demand.

Later, after reviewing the coal stock situation, the MoP decided on August 1, 2022, that the states, IPPs, and the Ministry of Coal should estimate the percentage mix based on the availability of domestic coal supplies.
