NTPC seeks 2-yr coal linkage extension for Darlipalli
BHUBANESWAR: As coal production from Dulanga coal mine is falling short of the annual target set by the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), the power major has requested the Ministry of Coal for extension of bridge linkage for its Darlipalli thermal power station in Sundargarh district.
The pit head-based thermal power plant sources its requirement of fossil fuel from the captive Dulanga coal mines allocated to NTPC in 2015. With a daily requirement of about 25,000 tonnes, the Dulanga mine has the capacity to meet 20,000 tonnes. The balance requirement is met from Mahanadi Coalfields Limited (MCL) through linkage coal.
