NTPC invites bids to import 4.53 million tonnes of coal
State-owned power giant NTPC has invited bids to procure imported 4.53 million tonnes (MT) coal mainly for blending with the domestic dry fuel in thermal plants. The NTPC NSE 0.60 % tender for the import of coal assumes significance in view of the ongoing dry fuel shortage at power plants.
Earlier this month, the power ministry had directed all the states and gencos (electricity-generating firms) to import at least 10 per cent of their requirement of coal for blending amid shortages at thermal plants.
