SAIL looks for coal block allocation through preferential route

15 Apr 2013 Evaluate

State run firm, Steel Authority of India (SAIL) has appealed to the Coal Ministry for allocation of two or three coal blocks under the government dispensation route. Through these coal blocks, the entity aims to meet fuel requirements of its captive power plants. It has identified 6 coal blocks - Tentuloi, Ghogharpalli and Extension and Bankhui in Odisha, Puta Parogia and Pindrakhi in Chhattisgarh and Gand Bahera Ujheni block in Uttar Pradesh. The steel major is looking for allocation of at least 2-3 of these plants.

SAIL has also sought gas allocation to set up a gas-based 1,050 MW power plant at Jagdishpur in Uttar Pradesh, though no commitment has been made yet by the Oil Ministry. Its power needs are about 1,000 MW. Of this, it meets about 70 per cent power requirements from captive power plants.
