Kolkata, June 23 (KNN) In a bid to ease the concerns of the small consumers regarding their coal requirements, state-run Coal India Limited recently conducted a meeting with the State Governments at its headquarters here with an objective to facilitate steady supply of coal to the MSME sector in a fair and transparent manner.
Last year, CIL earmarks about 8 million tonnes of coal annually, sold at notified prices, to MSME sector. The MSMEs that use coal as a fuel are brick kilns, food processing industry, lime factories, smokeless fuel plants, coke oven units and other small industries that rely on coal for their manufacturing process.
As per the New Coal Distribution Policy of Government of India, small consumers with annual requirement of less than 4,200 tonnes of coal and otherwise not having any access to purchase coal or sign a FSA (fuel supply agreement) get coal through State-nominated agencies.
“In a consumer friendly initiative, CIL had invited all the state government representatives to discuss, threadbare the details of coal supplies to MSMEs," a Coal India statement said.
"The objective of the meeting was to put at ease the concerns of the small consumers regarding their coal requirements and to reassure them of CIL's commitment in easing coal supplies through their respective state government nominated agency,” it added. (KNN Bureau)
