Power Minister, Piyush Goyal: Government will Arrange Quality Conference with Coal Firms
The government is all set to organise a Quality Conference with coal companies to ensure that the right quality of the fossil fuel is supplied to the power plants, Power Minister, Piyush Goyal said.
At an event Goyal said that, “On April 5, the Ministry is holding a Quality Conference with all the coal companies and technical experts of the sector to sit down and lay down the strategy to ensure that right quality of coal is supplied to our power plants and help them achieve higher efficiency rates.
Recently, the cabinet approved a more liberalised pricing policy on coal-bed methane development and production, which will ensure more efficient usage of coal with evolution of technology, he said.
He also added that, this will define the manner in which India uses its coal in the future.
Three areas that have shown huge transformation over the last three years – solar power, coal sector and the UDAY scheme were also discussed by Goyal.
The minister said that though India has the ability to produce more coal, it is held back by market forces.
