Coal Ministry panel recommend extending Nalco’s coal linkage

To guarantee sustainable output from its aluminium smelter, a Coal Ministry panel advised extending the bridge linkage for supply of coal by one year for the state-run National Aluminium Corporation (Nalco).

Due to delays in starting production at these blocks, the business requested an extension for the bridge linkage for the Utkal D and Utkal E coal mines of two years, or until March 2025.

The Standing Linkage Committee (long-term) for the Electricity Sector of the Coal Ministry (SLC (LT)) met in February 2023 to discuss several topics pertaining to the supply of coal, including Nalco's submission.

According to the committee, "SLC (LT) suggested for extending bridge connectivity to Unit 9 and l0 of captive power plants (CPPs) of Nalco for a term of one year on tapering basis, keeping in mind the talks conducted and suggestion of the Ministry of Mines."

Coal India (CIL) and Singareni Collieries Company would settle on the prices for coal supplies in exchange for prolonged bridge connectivity, it was said.
