Tata Power is in talks to pick about 15% stake in MEC Coal, the Dubai-registered company that owns more than two billion tonne of coal reserves in Indonesia. The Tata Group subsidiary is keen on augmenting its foreign coal assets to reduce power generation costs at its plants in India, where fuel shortage often leads to outages. MEC Coal is developing coal concessions in Indonesia, along with an integrated heavy-haul rail transportation system and ship loading jetty in the East Kalimantan province. The coal railway project is estimated to cost about $1 billion. If the deal goes through, it will be the second time the Tatas will be buying stake in Indonesian coalmines. The group already owns 30% in mines promoted by the Bakrie Group, one of Indonesia’s biggest business houses.
The company currently has a capacity of 3,797 MW, and is aiming to raise it to 25,000 MW by 2015. Shortage of coal and natural gas in the country and problems with land and environment clearances have prevented power generators from setting up new plants and operating at full capacity to meet the country’s growing demand for electricity.
