Meanwhile, NTPC, India’s largest thermal power producer, may soon become one of the major coal-producers of the country as well.
NTPC plans to produce up to 300 million tonnes of coal within the next four to five years, said a recent media report.
Currently, NTPC meets 90 percent of its annual coal requirements of 160 million tonnes — or 144 million tonnes — from Coal India Ltd.
With a total power generation capacity of over 43,000 MW, NTPC has in its fold ten coal blocks with reserves of around five billion tonnes and production potential of 100 million tonnes of coal.
These blocks and those to be allotted would cater to substantial requirement of the company’s generation capacity.
