The Central Government guaranteed coal linkage to the Barauni thermal power project in Bihar.
The Barauni thermal power project will get coal supply from Orma coal block of Jharkhand. The state government has been seeking coal linkage for two new power units of 250 MW each at Barauni.
The Union Coal Minister Sriprakash Jaiswal, said the Centre would also sympathetically consider the State Government’s request for coal linkages for other power projects. Nitish Kumar, Chief Minister of Bihar urged the Planning Commission to facilitate early coal linkage/coal blocks, seeking to fast track the execution of various power projects in state.
