Coal India (CIL) has paved the way for allowing supplies beyond Annual Contracted Quantity (ACQ) to thermal power plants of the country including independent power plants (IPP), focusing on increasing its volume sale of coal. This applies to the Gencos which have signed the fuel supply agreements (FSA) embedded with such an enabling clause.
With this, CIL has done away with the earlier provision which allowed coal supplies up to a maximum of 120% of ACQ to power plants and IPPs. Now, the simplification would benefit the power plants which prefer to lift higher quantities of coal beyond their stipulated ACQ. The fillip for CIL is that, it would boost its supplies at a time when coal demand is showing signs of slackening.
In the last week of June this year CIL’s Board had cleared the decks for allowing supplies beyond ACQ. This ushers in ease of doing business, simplicity and avoids duplicity of work.
Coal India is the world’s largest coal mining company. It also produces non-coking coal and coking coal of various grades for diverse applications.
