Govt weighs mandatory blending of imported coal at power plants, sources say

The Indian government is considering a plan to make power plants blend imported coal with domestic coal. This would involve mixing up to 5% of imported coal with domestic coal. The move aims to reduce the country's reliance on imported coal and promote the use of domestic coal, which could help conserve foreign exchange and support the domestic coal industry.

Why it matters

The government's plan to blend imported coal with domestic coal may increase costs for thermal power plants. However, it could also improve the efficiency of power generation and reduce emissions.
