Commensurate with the  Government of India policy of POWER FOR ALL by 2012, many private investments are being channelized into power sector. As a result of new UMPPs / IPPs/MPP’s, the demand for coal has increased manifold. Domestic coal unable to fulfill the emerging demand and over dependence on imported coal  is not at all advisable. In such situation “Blending at optimal levels a key solution for fuel & energy security of future of India”, Lakshminarayana concluded in his presentation. 

Mr.V.P. Sinha, Jt. Mg Director of Gupta Corporation of India  and Mr.R.B. Mathur , President (Coal), JSW Energy Ltd, dealt with the topic of economic aspects of washing coal and the challenges & remedies.

They opined that the current linkage of high ash domestic coal has to be washed/beneficiated  thereby enhancing the Energy value and reducing the quantity of coal to be transported . By this method the pressure on infrastructure would come down and the available resources are put to best usage.

Mr.V.S.Verma, Member-Central Electricity Regulatory Commission of India, New Delhi acted as chairman of the technical session and stressed the need for maintaining the consistency in the coal quality /production and need to honor the contractual obligations of the Fuel supply agreements entered by coal India ltd and its subsidiaries.

He maintained that steady production throughout the year is the key to maintain quality instead of rushing in the sag end of the financial year to meet the targets, this attitude results in compromise in quality and erratic supplies.

The conference continues today in New Delhi
