<h1>Government Proposes Coal Import by Coal India to Meet Fuel Supply Obligations; West Bengal Raises Concerns Over Pricing Impact.</h1> The Ministry of Power and the Central Electricity Authority proposed that Coal India Limited import coal to meet its Fuel Supply Agreement obligations to power stations at a price equivalent to domestic coal's Gross Calorific Value. This supply would be determined by plant location and applicable to both public and private sectors with Long Term Power Purchase Agreements. The cost of importing coal would be integrated into the domestic coal price to prevent revenue loss for Coal India Limited. The Government of West Bengal has expressed concerns about this price pooling proposal, which is under consideration, with its impact on electricity tariffs to be assessed post-finalization.
