STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (e) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. 299 TO BE ANSWERED IN THE LOK SABHA ON 15.03.2018 REGARDING SHORTAGE OF FUEL FOR POWER PLANTS.

(a) & (b) : Due  to  several  measures  taken  by  the  Government,  the availability of coal in power plants have improved. The overall coal stock position  in  the  coal  based  power  plants  have  increased  from  7.3  Million Tonnes (MT), as on 19.10.2017, to 15.3 MT, as on 07.03.2018.

The receipt of coal by the coal based power plants during the last three years and the current year, state-wise, are given at Annex-I.

The availability of domestic gas for power sector is very low as availability of gas from KG D6 field is reduced drastically . The details of the gas allotted and supplied / consumed during the last 3 years and the current year ( Upto January, 2018 ) are given at Annex-II.

(c) to (e) : No  coal  based  power  plants/stations  are  on  the  verge  of closure due to high cost of coal.

As regards gas based power plants, domestic natural gas is allocated as per the prevailing gas allocation policy and supplied depending upon the availability. The total gas based installed capacity in the country is 25150 MW, and the gas required for this capacity is around 114 Million Metric Standard Cubic Meters per Day (MMSCMD). Against this requirement, only 22.91 MMSCMD domestic gas was supplied to the gas based power stations in the year 2017-18 (upto Jan 2018), and the average Plant Load Factor (PLF) of the gas based stations including the capacity run on imported gas is 23% during this period.

The power plants are free to import the natural gas based on their  requirements.  However,  due  to  high  cost  of  imported  Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the cost of power produced from this gas is also higher and,  therefore,  not  scheduled  by  the  DISCOMs.  As  a  result,  many  gas based power plants are not operating at their full capacity and some of them are not at all operating.

There is no proposal under consideration at present to provide financial assistance to any gas based power plants.

.............2.

Government  of  India  has  taken  the  following  initiatives  for improving supply of Coal and for bringing down effective cost of coal to thermal power plants:

- (i) After the cancellation of 204 coal blocks, Govt. of India formulated a transparent policy for reallocation of cancelled coal mines in a fair and  transparent  method.  Government  ensured  re-allocation  of  51 blocks  to  power  sector,  supporting  capacity  of  about  62,000  MW through auction/allotment till date.
- (ii) Govt.  started  separate  e-auction  window  for  power  sector    from April 2016 under which Coal India Ltd. (CIL) is making arrangements for conduct of forward e-auction of coal exclusively for power sector on a sustained basis, offering adequate  quantities at regular intervals so that coal is made available to such power plants on a regular basis.
- (iii) Govt.  notified  policy  guidelines  for  grant  of  Bridge  Linkage  to specified end use plants of Central and State Public Sector Undertakings  (both  in  Power  as  well  as  Non-Power  sector)  which have been allotted coal mines or blocks. Bridge linkages applications for public sector power projects in prescribed formats have been approved.
- (iv) Govt., on 17.05.2017, approved SHAKTI (Scheme for Harnessing and Allocating  Koyala  Transparently in India).  Under this  scheme,  coal linkages  have  been  granted  to  Central  and  State  Gencos  at  the notified  price.  Further,  under  SHAKTI  scheme,  auction  of  linkages for  Independent  Power  Producers  (IPPs),  with  Power  Purchase Agreeemnts (PPAs),  based on domestic coal has been conducted on 12.09.2017. LOAs have been granted to the successful bidders.
- (v) Flexibility in utilization of domestic coal for reducing cost of power generation.
- (vi) Rationalization of coal linkages to optimize cost of transportation.
- (vii) Commencement of Third Party Sampling of coal at both loading and unloading  ends  to  address  the  problem  of  grade  slippage  and  to reduce the power tariffs to the consumers.
