Coal India inks pact with Haryana for power supply from Mahanadi Basin Power
₹15,947 crore. According to Coal India, the company's forthcoming thermal power projects will utilize Ultra Super-Critical technology, which significantly reduces carbon emissions compared to traditional coal-fired plants.
The strategic location of these plants near coal mine pit-heads will bring multiple advantages, including reduced coal transportation costs, lower transit losses, improved plant load factors, and the use of higher quality coal, ultimately minimizing environmental impact, it added. Coal India is actively seeking partnerships with state discoms to ensure a steady supply of electricity from the planned Mahanadi Basin Power Ltd plant.
A power purchase agreement has already been signed with Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd (APDCL) for 1200 MW from this facility. This initiative is part of Coal India's broader strategy to support the government's goal of adding 80 gigawatts (GW) of thermal power capacity by 2030 to cater to the country's growing energy demand.Milestone Alert!
