The West Bengal Power Development Corporation Limited (WBPDCL) has begun selling its surplus coal to NTPC. This move is significant for the Indian energy sector as it aims to utilize excess coal reserves. The sale of 3.5 million tonnes of surplus coal by March 2027 will help NTPC meet its power generation needs and potentially reduce its reliance on imported coal. This development is likely to have a positive impact on the country's energy security and may also influence coal prices in the market.
