The Hindu
The move comes in the wake of power plants across the country grappling with coal shortages
NLC India Ltd (NLCIL), a Navaratna public sector undertaking under the Ministry of Coal, on Tuesday announced that it would be ramping up coal production to 10 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) from its coal blocks in Talabira, Odisha from the current year, to meet the rise in demand. The move comes in the wake of power plants across the country grappling with coal shortages.
The Talabira II and III blocks were allotted to NLCIL by the Union Government on May 2, 2016, under the Coal Mines Special Provision Act, 2015, for optimum utilisation of collieries for end-user plants like the Neyveli Talabira Thermal Power Plant (NTTPP) and the NTPL. The mining activity started on December 11, 2019, and production commenced successfully on April 26, 2020.
