## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (DR. MAHESH SHARMA)

(a) The  coal  based  thermal  power  plants  are  identified  as  one  the  17  highly  polluting industries. There are 182 coal based thermal power plants (independent power producers) of which  32  plants  are  located  near  cities.  The  list  of  thermal  power  plants  is  given  at Annexure I .

(b)&(c)  No  specific  study  on  pollution  load  assessment  from  coal  based  power  plants  has been conducted by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. However, based on about 665 million tonnes annual coal consumption during 2017-18, it is estimated that about 0.43, 6.32 and 2.78 million tonnes of particulate matter, sulphur dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen  (NOx)  respectively  were  emitted  into  atmosphere  from  coal  based  power  plants. There is no data available about loss of life and property due to pollution from coal based power plants. However, pollution due to coal based power plants could be triggering factor for respiratory ailments and associated diseases.

- (d)&(e) The compliance monitoring is carried out by the respective State Pollution Control Boards. Surprise inspection of 38 thermal power plants in various states based on analysis of data  of  Online  Emission  Monitoring  System  has  been  done.  Among  these,  23  plants  were initially found violating the emission norms. The directions under section 5 of E(P) Act, 1986 were  issued  to  these  23  plants  ( Annexure-II ).  Out  of  these  23  plants,  15  plants  have subsequently complied the environmental norms.
- (f) To check the pollution emanating from coal based power plants, Government has notified new  emission  limits  for  SO2  and  NOx  and  revised  limits  for  particulate  mattervide notification  S.O.  3305  (E)  dated  07.12.2015.    It  has  also  made  use  of  beneficiated  coal mandatory  in  thermal  power  plants  located  500-1000  km  from  coal  mine/urban  area /critically polluted area vide notification G.S.R. 04 (E) dated 02.01.2014.
