Power producers seek more time to install emission controlling equipment
An association of power producers has sought more time to install emission controlling equipment at their plants, saying various issues, including Covid-19 followed by supply disruptions from China, have posed challenges in meeting the December 2022 deadline.
In a letter to the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Association of Power Producers (APP) has sought another three years to complete the process.
As per a government order, all thermal power plants in India have to install the flue gas de-sulphurisation (FGD) technology that reduces sulphur oxides emissions on burning of coal, in a phased manner by December 2022.
