NTPC designs new projects on increased imported blend [1]

Shortage in supply of domestic coal has forced state-run power producer NTPC to design its projects for future capacity addition with a blending 30 per cent of imported coal. This might raise the cost of power by 30 paise for the end users.

Currently, the company blends 10-15 per cent of imported coal.
