## Coal Linkages to Private Companies

## 4674. DR. A. SAMPATH:

Will the Minister of COAL be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government is planning to provide coal linkages to private companies for new and upcoming power projects;

(b) if so, the details thereof; and

(c) the price at which the Government proposes to sell coal to these companies and the period stipulated for the sale of coal at this price, company-wise?

## A N S W E R

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  (I/C)  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  COAL,  POWER,  NEW  AND RENEWABLE ENERGY AND MINES

## ( SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL )

(a)  &  (b): As  per  New  Coal  Distribution  Policy  (NCDP),  2007,  Standing  Linkage Committee  (Long-Term)  [SLC  (LT)]  is  authorized to recommend  the  Letters  of Assurance (LOAs) for supply of coal. Based on the SLC (LT)'s recommendation, so far 177 LOAs  have been issued to various power plants including Central/State Government  Sector  as  well  as  IPPs  (Independent  Power  Producers  i.e.  private companies) covering capacity of approximately 1,08,000 MW. Out of this capacity, competent authority in 2013 had approved signing of Fuel Supply Agreements in respect of 78,000 MW capacity which have been commissioned or were likely  to  be  commissioned  by  31.03.2015.  A  Presidential  Directive  to  this  effect  was issued to Coal India Limited (CIL) on 17.07.2013. As the CIL had then reported negative coal balance, no new regular linkage has been granted after 2010.

Sufficient coal is now available and there is no scarcity. Based on actual drawal of coal, adequate coal has been available from 2015-16 onwards as per demand of the power sector. On the basis of PPA based capacities, the coal balance is likely to turn positive in 2017-18. Keeping this in view, a policy for allocation of coal linkage to power sector is under formulation.

(c): The coal  linkages/LOAs  issued  to  the  Power  Producers  are  converted  into  Long Term  Fuel  Supply  Agreements  after  achievement  of  prescribed  milestones.  The consumers under the FSA are supplied coal at the price notified by CIL from time to time. This  applies to the regulated  sectors  (like Power  Utilities including  IPPs, Fertilizers,  and  Defence).  For  non-regulated  sectors  (like  sponge  iron,  cement,  steel, Captive Power Plants and other industries), CIL charges a price which is about 20 % higher than the notified price of power sector.
