Following the Center's guidelines for blending foreign coal to overcome scarcity, thermal power plants (TPPs) blended approximately seven million tons (MTs) of imported coal between April and June 2022.
The Department of Energy ordered all Generation Companies (GENCOs), including IPPs, to blend imported coal for power generation in April due to rising energy demand and the inadequacy of domestic coal resources to meet demand.
Domestic coal-fired power plants have more than nine days of reserve stock on June 24, while imported coal-fired power plants have about 12 more days of stock left.
India expects to import about 59 tons of coal for blending in power plants in fiscal year (FY2023), while inbound shipments for June are likely to be between 4.8 and 5.
