This will enable states to optimally utilise their linkage coal in plants nearer to mines as it would be easier to transmit electricity instead of coal transport to far-off states: R K Singh, Union power minister

Arup Roychoudhury New Delhi
Amidst rising power demand from states and coal supply shortages, the Centre on Wednesday allowed “tolling” of up to 25 per cent for thermal power plants and suggested that power generation companies look to import coal for blending up to 10 per cent. Additionally, the Cabinet approved a policy for utilisation of non-minable land for development and setting up of infrastructure relating to coal and energy.

In an official statement, the power ministry said tolling facilities will be allowed up to 25 per cent of linkage coal for certain power generation companies to avoid long-distance coal transport.
