Coal India cancels preliminary supply pacts with 60 captive power units

18 Jun 2012 Evaluate

Citing the reason for not complying with the stipulated norms, Coal India (CIL) has cancelled preliminary supply pacts with as many as 60 captive power plants and independent producers. The 60 CPPs whose assurances have been withdrawn include units of Bokaro Power Supply, a JV of SAIL and DVC, Bhushan Power and Steel, Essar Power, Grasim Industries, JSW Aluminium, J K Tyre and Industries and Maharashtra Energy Development Agency.

Tata Power's 120 MW Unit V at Jojobera, Jharkhand and Durgapur Project's 300 MW Unit - 7A at Burdwan in West Bengal were the two power utilities whose authorization of LoAs have been cancelled. The coal was to be supplied by CIL subsidiary Mahanadi Coalfields and Eastern Coalfields, respectively.

Coal India has cancelled/withdrawn authorization of Letter of Assurances (LoAs) for non-submission of commitment guarantee (CG) within the stipulated period. CG is an amount, which the power companies have to deposit with the coal firms, and is equivalent to 10% of the notified price of the annual coal requirement of the power firms.

An inter-ministerial Committee - standing linkage committee-long term (SLC) which comprises representatives from Ministries of Coal, Power, Shipping and Railways among others besides the Planning Commission - had earlier agreed on the withdrawal of the authorizations granted for supply of coal.

Till January this year, based on recommendations of SLC-LT, CIL’s subsidiaries have issued 172 LoAs for a total capacity of 1,08,878 MW. Besides, this capacity excludes the power utilities already linked to CIL/SCCL, which were commissioned as on March 31, 2009 for which CEA (Central Electricity Authority)/CIL has agreed for annual contracted quantity of 304.84 million tonnes (MT) per annum.
