Govt may give tapering linkage to 8 GW power projects
Unconfirmed reports indicate that the government may give tapering coal linkage to 8,000 mw of power projects. Tapering linkage enables power producers, who are allocated captive coal blocks, to meet their short-term coal requirements until the captive block starts producing coal. The 8,000 mw projects are part of the 24,000 mw projects that are yet to sign power purchase agreements.
