In a first, NTPC taps pvt miners for coal supplies

Until now, NTPC had been sourcing domestic coal exclusively from state-run Coal India Ltd (CIL) through long-term fuel supply agreements (FSAs).

Senior company executives said NTPC issued tenders over the past six months to procure 3 million tonnes (mt) of coal from privately owned mines, and supply has already begun.

"We are receiving coal from commercial mines. The supply from these mines is directly to our plants. The tender was for NTPC's non-pithead power plants," said a company executive. Non-pithead plants are located more than 500 kilometers from coal mines, while pithead power plants are situated nearby.
