A captive power producers' body today warned that the government's decision to dedicate all coal supplies to central, state and independent power plants would bring the industry to a "standstill".
The Indian Captive Power Producers Association (ICPPA) in a letter to the Prime Minister's Office and Railway and Coal Minister Piyush Goyal urged for resuming coal supplies to captive plants, which have been set up by various industries like steel, cement and aluminium to meet their own demand.
The installed captive power generation capacity is about 47GW in the country
