Centre to review policy mandating gencos to blend 6% imported coal

The review, likely in January, will determine whether to continue the blending requirement beyond March or to increase the blending percentage in response to growing demand and fluctuating coal stocks, said two people in the know of the development.

"The coal stock position and demand situation would be looked into and if the demand seems to be rising, the blending quantum may even be increased," said one of the persons on condition of anonymity. The review will take into account the expected rise in demand as temperatures increase following the end of winter, the person added.

Queries sent to the ministry remained unanswered at press time.
