BK Chaturvedi panel on surplus coal utilisation to submit report by Oct-end
A panel headed by B K Chaturvedi to look into the possibility of utilisation of surplus coal from captive mines by power utilities, will submit its report to the Coal Ministry by the end of this month. The panel is looking at utilising surplus coal by creating a bank or a common pool that will supply the fuel to the utilities. Coal imports by Indian companies had touched a record of 137.56 mt last fiscal to meet the shortfall.
