Asked by: PARAYAMPARANBIL KUTTAPPAN BIJU

## UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.1151 TO BE ANSWERED ON 03.03.2016

'Coal Linkages to Private Companies'

## 1151. SHRI P.K. BIJU:

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, company-wise and the period stipulated for the sale of coal at this price?

## ANSWER

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

## (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  108000 MW. Out of this 1,08,000 MW capacity, the competent authority in 2013 had approved signing of Fuel Supply Agreements (FSAs) in respect  of  78,000  MW  capacity  power  plants  which  have  been  commissioned  or  are likely to be commissioned by 31.03.2015. It was further decided that coal may also be supplied to power plants of 4660 MW capacity and other similarly placed power plants that do not have any fuel linkage subject to the availability of coal and on the condition that such supplies would not adversely impact the availability of coal for the identified plants of 78,000 MW capacity as per the approval accorded and other LoA holders. A Presidential Directive to this effect was  issued  to  Coal  India Limited (CIL)  on 17.07.2013. The power projects of the remaining capacity of 30,000 MW are yet to be authorized for signing of FSAs.  Keeping in view the negative coal balance reported by subsidiary coal companies of CIL, new linkages/ Letters of Assurance (LoA) have not been granted to any of the sectors since 2010.

(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 35 % higher than the notified price.
