The subsidiary companies  of Coal India Limited  have issued  172 Letters of Assurance (LoA) for coal supply, covering the capacity of  1,08,878 MW.  During the last three  years  of  11th Plan, capacity of about 26,000 MW has been commissioned and  the balance capacity  of about 82,000 MW  is likely to  be  commissioned during  12th Plan period and beyond. Since  LoAs  amounting   to more than 80,000 MW  for setting up  the  power projects already  exist, there is prima facia no scope for the grant of  new coal linkages/LoAs  for  12th Plan Power Projects, including  the  2×660 MW power project of Shri Singaji Thermal power project of  Madhya Pradesh.

 

This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Coal, Shri Pratik Prakashbapu Patil in a written reply in Lok sabha today.
