CIL’s BCCL to restore supplies to 13 units in Jharkhand

Ranchi Express reported that, a couple of months after Coal India Limited’s subsidiary Bharat Coking Coal Limited had declared about 18 hard coke units in Dhanbad of Jharkhand as non existent thus discontinuing supplies of coal to them, ha snow said that 13 of them are fine by it and that coal supplies to them would be resumed forthwith.

An earlier verification drive, after terming 18 hard coke units as non existent had recommended suspension of coal supplies to them. BCCL’s latest survey however, retracts upon the earlier non existent charge and has suggested that they be supplied with coking coal under the linkage quota system.

Meanwhile, a fresh verification drive of hard coke plants is going on. During the survey it was found that 13 of the 18 hard coke units, contrary to an earlier finding were actually existent.
