Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh lead coal capacity expansion: Global Energy Monitor
In 2023, India brought online 5.5 GW of new coal-fired power plant capacity, more than double the 2.7 GW of new capacity added in 2022.
Jindal Steel and Power Ltd (JSPL) on Monday said it has secured coal linkage in the recently- concluded auctions for the captive power sub-sector.
"The coal linkages, secured for a 5-year duration, will provide steady supply of fuel to captive power plants run by the company for its steel-making operations," the company said in a filing to the BSE on Monday.
The captive power plants (CPPs) of the company are located at Raigarh and Dongamahuah (Raigarh district) in Chhattisgarh.

The linkages ensure a steady supply of thermal coal to feed the captive power plant at calorific cost and would further enhance operational efficiency, the company said.
Since 2016, JSPL has secured coal linkages of close to 2.3 mtpa in various sub-sectors for a 5-year timeframe.
