All India Power Engineers Federation (AIPEF) on Tuesday demanded an independent enquiry into shortage of coal at various thermal power plants as well as the imports of dry fuel in the country.
The engineers’ body also said the central government should bear the additional cost of coal imports by power generation utilities, according to an AIPEF statement.
It said that certain entities are benefitting from rising coal imports and demand from a number of power producers leads to an increase in the price of the dry fuel in the international market.
