Producers in the power industry have suggested that available fuel be equally distributed among all thermal plants, though there is a perception that the government may not agree for such a move.

Players are seeking supply for new projects which have come up/ready to be fired between 2009 and January 19, 2012, with a capacity of about 20,000 megawatt.

According to them, the newer plants with better technology will be able to generate more power.

The coal and gas-based power developers, who met the senior ministers of the Government last week, under the aegis of the Association of Power Producers (APP), pitched for higher domestic coal supplies.

They also said that in line with the gas utilisation policy, the entire thermal coal production should be reserved for the regulated sectors such as power and fertiliser.
