Panipat: In order to improve power generation efficiency, the authorities have decided to get coal from Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL) in place of Northern Coal Fields Limited (NCFL) for its Panipat thermal power plant.
The arrangement has already been approved by sub group for short-term coal linkages working under the Coal Ministry.
Haryana Power Generation Corporation Limited (HPGCL) has been under fire from various quarters, including engineers, for failure of the Panipat Thermal Plant to generate power to its full capacity. Those manning the operations at the thermal plant had been lamenting that inferior quality of coal was being supplied to the plant which prevented the units from running to full load capacity. The coal for Panipat thermal plant was being procured from the NCFL
