TPCIL is in the process of setting up a 1,320 MW coal-fired generation plant with 2 units of 660MW each, in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh, located near the cost of Krishnapatnam. The plant has been designed to run on 70% domestic coal and 30% imported coal. The imported coal requirement will be met through TPCIL’s coal supply agreement with PT Bayan Resources, which was secured in February 2012.

Under the FSA signed for Annual Contracted Capacity of 2.13 million tonne per annum, MCL would be supplying coal to TPCIL’s plant for a period of 20 years starting from the operationalization of the plant which is expected in FY15.

The company said that with the assured quantity of coal supply for TPCIL for the next 20 years, TPCIL will be able to supply power to the lakhs of consumers in AP and other parts of the country.
