With quality determination of fossil fuels posing as a challenge to the government, the state-owned CIL has roped in additional third-party agencies to do the job. <\/p>\n
“CEA (Central Electricity Authority) has recommended empanelment of additional third-party sampling agencies in pursuance to which… agencies are being empanelled in addition to the existing third-party agencies,” Coal India said in a letter. <\/p>\n
The agencies are Allied (India), Shree Coal Research LLP, Mitra SK Pvt Ltd, R V Briggs & Company Pvt Ltd, CIL said. <\/p>\n
Coal Secretary Anil Swarup had earlier termed the quality of coal as “an area of concern”. <\/p>\n
Last month, the government had announced its plan to bring in a new regime for sampling and testing of the dry fuel from January 1 to ensure supplying quality coal to consumers. <\/p>\n
The move is aimed at putting an end to controversies like the one between NTPC and the coal behemoth on the quality front. <\/p>\n
“The new regime for sampling and testing of coal is to become operational from 1st January, 2016,” Swarup had said. <\/p>\n
“Testing of quality will ensure the customer pays for the quality that is determined independently… coal will also be crushed before supply from January 1.” <\/p>\n
Samples for coal quality analysis will be collected by select agencies as per BIS norms, the Secretary had tweeted, adding that “results will be available within 18 days”. <\/p>\n
Coal India Ltd (CIL), which accounts for about 80 per cent of the domestic dry fuel production, supplies coal to power and other utilities. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
