Power consumers stand to gain over Rs 30,000 crore over a period of time: Piyush Goyal

24 Feb 2015 Evaluate

Power and Coal Minister Piyush Goyal, after the successful completion of the first round of the auction of 19 coal blocks has said that power consumers in the country stand to gain over Rs 30,000 crore over a period of time by way of a cut in electricity tariff. Goyal said that 'The first round of coal block auctions for 19 mines will fetch the government over Rs 1.3 lakh crore of which over Rs 30,000 crore will be savings from reduction in power tariff.'

In the auction process, while there was forward bidding for the unregulated sectors, there was reverse bidding process for power sector end-use, where the government had set a ceiling price that was representative of production cost of Coal India. If the ceiling price is Rs 1,000 and the bidder bids Rs 800, then the benefit of Rs 200 is directly passed on to consumers. This would mean if the power is sold at Rs 3.50, out of which is Re 1 is cost of coal the same will become 80 paise because of pass through benefit of Rs 200. Thus the new price of power will be Rs 3.30 per unit. Under the forward bidding, the companies were required to mention the price which they were willing to give to States.

Block wise, benefits to consumers in terms of power tariff reduction would be to the tune of Rs 657 crore from Talabira I mine, Rs 3,527 crore from Sarisatolli mine, Rs.7,571 crore from Trans Damodar mine, Rs 8,784 ccrore from Amelia North mine, Rs 5,041 crore from Tokisud North mine and Rs 11,469 crore from Gare Palma IV 2& IV 3 mines. The second round of auction in which government has put on sale 21 mines will begin from February 25.
