A captive power producers’ association has urged the government to normalisation the supply of coal.
“We are getting only 35 per cent to 40 per cent of what we should be getting. Let there be 100 per cent normalisation of supplies to captive power plants (CPPs),” Rajiv Agarwal, Secretary-General, Indian Captive Power Producers’ Association (ICPPA) said in a press conference.
“Any abrupt stoppage of this secured coal supply will bring the industry to a grinding halt and have a severe impact on the SMEs in the downstream sector, resulting in increased prices of finished products with a burden on end consumers, “ he said.
