Pvt power projects to get coal policy cover to beat crunch [1]

There is finally some relief for 66,000-MW domestic coal-based generation projects awarded through the

tariff bidding route. The Cabinet is likely to approve amendments to the coal distribution policy, allowing power firms importing coal to meet shortfall in fuel
supply from Coal India to pass on additional fuel costs to consumers. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs ( CCEA) is expected to take up this matter for consideration in its meeting on Friday. The inter-ministerial panel on coal price pooling suggested amending the coal distribution policy on the advise of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
