Coal India seeks firm order from NTPC for imports

06 Dec 2010 Evaluate

Coal India Ltd has approached NTPC for a firm order for import of four million tonnes thermal coal. The power major had previously issued a letter of intent to CIL in this regard. Firm orders were also sought from other power utilities. CIL has initiated the process of finalizing the tender document. Discussions are also on a fast track with a number of prospective suppliers from Australia and Indonesia in this regard. The company would enter into a memorandum of understanding with Shipping Corporation of India in December to form an import logistics joint venture.

Meanwhile, CIL is in the process of finalizing a fresh list of investment bankers to assist the company in acquiring coal-equity in Indonesia, Australia, USA and South Africa. According to the norms set by the company, the merchant bankers having experience of striking at least two coal asset acquisition deals, each worth $ 500 million or more will be eligible for listing with CIL.
