Coal ministry to allocate alternative block to Odisha

Policy Update  /  Sep 01, 2016

The Coal Ministry has agreed to Odisha´s proposal to allocate an alternative coal block to Odisha Thermal Power Corporation Ltd (OPTCL) for its 2,400-MW coal-based power plant proposed near Dhenkanal. OPTCL is a 50:50 joint venture (JV) between Odisha Mining Corporation (OMC) and Odisha Hydro Power Corporation (OHPC).

Earlier, the ministry had provided the Tentuloi coal block for the OTPCL project. But since Tentuloi is an underground coal block, it was unsuitable for the power project, despite its reserves of 1,234 million tonnes (MT). The Odisha government has been repeatedly appealing to the ministry to scrap the Tentuloi block and, instead, offer an alternative block to cater to OTPCL´s requirement. During a recent meeting, Odisha´s Energy Minister Pranab Prakash Das reiterated the demand for an alternative coal block.

Agree. Developing a domestic transshipment port is a good idea if we talk about seaports, there are several countries and commercial centers around the world that don’t have a seaport and these countries have to use the seaports of other countries in order to import or export their cargo, which will give a competitive advantage.

Adhering to international best business practices with niche boutique firms could open doors to easily tap financing from institutional investors both debt and equity.
