tonnes of coal within the next four to five years, said a recent
media report.
Currently, NTPC meets 90 percent of
its annual coal requirements of 160 million tonnes — or 144 million
tonnes — from Coal India Ltd.
With a total power generation capacity
of over 43,000 MW, NTPC has in its fold ten coal blocks with reserves
of around five billion tonnes and production potential of 100 million
tonnes of coal.
These blocks and those to be allotted
would cater to substantial requirement of the company’s generation
capacity.
