Indian workers use heavy machinery to shift a pile of coal at an open cast mine owned by The Sinagareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) at Godavarikhani, some 250 kilometers east of Hyderabad.
The government on Sunday said it was aiming to bring down to “zero” thermal coal imports of power PSUs like NTPC in the current fiscal, a move that would reduce the country’s import bill by around ₹17,000 crore. The government would also slowly convince the private companies operating in the power space to totally stop the import of thermal fossil fuel. PTI
