The coal linkage granted to NTPC’s proposed North Karnapura Thermal Power plant in Jharkhand has been restored, however, the fuel supply will commence only during the 13th Five Year Plan. The Coal Ministry in 2008 had withdrawn fuel linkages to the NTPC plant following a squabble with the Power Ministry over the location of the project.
The Coal Ministry challenged that the area has six billion tonnes of coal reserves underneath and stated in a Cabinet note that executing a power plant over the proposed site would pose a threat to the environment. However, Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) this year finally gave the nod to NTPC, for setting up of the 1,980 MW North Karanpura Super Thermal Power Plant in Jharkhand. Besides, CCI has also agreed to restore the original coal linkage for the project that has been cleared for setting up in the vicinity of Tandwa town, district Chatra in Jharkhand.
NTPC is the largest power generating company in the country. It has also diversified into hydro power, coal mining, power equipment manufacturing, oil & gas exploration, power trading & distribution.
