APGENCO is likely to get coal linkages from Suliyari coal block in Madhya Pradesh which is allotted to Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation.
The company will get the resources of about 150 million tonne with potential to extract about five million tpa. The block can provide the 60 per cent of coal to fulfill the requirements of three new power projects to be taken up on fast-track mode by APGENCO while the remaining will be through imported coal supplies.
The coal linkage will ensure fuel supply for three projects that are to come up with an installed capacity of 2, 400 MW with three units of 800 MW each. The fuel linkage will ensure financial closure and take up the projects.
