Raise captive coal output in a week, utilise imported coal-based plants or face CIL supply regulation: Centre to states

The government has announced taking strict action of regulating coal supply from Coal India NSE 0.55 % to states that do not raise captive coal production in a week or utilise their imported coal –based plants within a fortnight.

A government official said coal supply to such states will be “suitably reduced to improve supply to other power plants having higher generation or without captive mine or imported coal power purchase agreements.”
