Need to enhance coal-based plants’ efficiency by reducing emissions: Govt

There is a need to enhance efficiency of coal-based power plants by reducing their emissions level, Union Minister R K Singh said on Tuesday.

The Minister for Power, New and Renewable Energy made the remarks at NTPC’s Indian Power Stations O&M Conference (IPS 2024) at Raipur.
