The government has directed Coal India to review the
sources of coal it supplies to state-run utilities for power generation by
reallocating resources on the basis of their proximity to generation units,
thereby bringing down transport costs and easing pressure on tariffs.
The directive came on the basis of a recommendation made by an
inter-ministerial task force set up by the Coal Ministry to look into the
possibility of reducing the transport costs for coal.
