The Minister further informed that coal, whether domestic or imported, is procured by Thermal Power Plants (DCBs or ICBs) separately and as per their requirements. As Coal is under open general licence (OGL) since 1993, thermal power plants/generators are regularly importing coal as per their preference (imported coal has high Gross Calorific Value and therefore is of better quality) and needs based on their commercial prudence. Thermal Coal imports increased with the construction of Imported Coal Based coastal power plants especially between 2002-03 and 2019-20 (pre-pandemic year). Even Domestic Coal Based plants has shown an increasing trend of blending of imported coal between 2011-12 (6.6%, 26.5 Million Tonnes) and 2014-15 (9.9%, 48.5 Million Tonnes). Information regarding coal imports by DCBs and ICBs is regularly collected and monitored by CEA.

The import of coal by power plants during the last 5 FYs and the first quarter of the current FY is as under:

The above table clearly shows that import of coal, for DCBs, has been on decline since 2019-20 primarily due to increased availability of domestic coal on account of various policy measures taken to increase domestic coal production. Accordingly, the Ministry of Power, in FY 2020-21, also gave advisory to GENCOS to reduce their imports as Ministry of Coal informed that sufficient domestic coal was available. However, from July, 21 onwards the consumption of coal exceeded the supplies because of increased demand such that the coal stocks at the power plants end came down from 28.7 Miilion Tonnes (MT) as on 30.06.2021 to about 8.1 Million Tonnes (MT) as on 30.09.2021. This was largely enough for three and half days only. During this period (Q2 of FY 2021-22) stocks, the gap between consumption and supply of domestic coal has been about 2.38 Lakh Tonnes/day. The Ministry of Power, while observing the trend of domestic coal supplies viz-a viz consumption and to ensure non repetition of the situation of critical domestic stocks at the end of Q2, advised all the States Gencos & IPPs, in December 2021, to import coal @4% (by weight) and NTPC/DVC @ 10% (by weight) for meeting their requirements during 2022-23. During the month of April, 2022, the Power Demand and the coal consumption in power plants have grown by about 12 % as compared to April, 2021. In view of the high demand for power and receipt of coal being less than consumption leading to depletion of coal stock, MOP on 28.04.2022 advised States and IPPs to import coal @ 10% (by weight) of their requirement in order to meet the requirements of power generation.

The procurement and payment of the imported coal is done by the Gencos.

During April-Sep, 2022 (QI, Q2 of FY 2022-23) the receipt of domestic coal was about 355 MT against the consumption of 385 MT (Dom: 359 MT +1mp: 1.4 x 18.9 MT). If there would have been no import for blending purpose, the coal stock available at the domestic coal based plants, which was about 24 MT at the beginning of the FY 2022-23 would have reduced to ZERO during September, 2022. The gap between supply of domestic coal and consumption of coal was about 1.6 lakh tons/day during first half of FY 2022-23. On the improvement of the situation MOP advised GENCOs on 01.08.2022 to take decision regarding blending at their level taking into account the domestic coal supply and stock position (need based blending) with continuous monitoring of stock levels. However, during September, 2022 to January, 2023, the gap between daily coal consumption and daily arrival of domestic coal ranged from 0.26 Million Tonnes to 0.05 Million Tonnes. Therefore Ministry of Power advised Central, State Gencos and Independent Power Producers (IPPs) on 09.01.2023 to import coal through a transparent competitive procurement for blending so as to have sufficient coal stocks at their power plants for smooth operations till September, 2023.

This information has been given by the Union Minister for Power and New & Renewable Energy Shri R. K. Singh, in a written reply to a question, in Rajya Sabha on August 8, 2023.
