NTPC in its new initiative to supply imported coal from Haldia
to Farakka in West Bengal through Ganga waterway the National
Waterway-I is estimated to be a very
cost effective shipping measure that will save 20% of company’s carrying
charges.
Diversification of goods transportation through river route is
well opted by NTPC to save its time and ensure timely deliverance of its 3
million tonnes (mt) coal by avoiding port congestion and rail rakes non-availability.
Jindal ITF firm is entitled with this waterway coal
transportation job to the 2,100MW Farakka power plant in West Bengal. Under
this coal transportation contract the Jindal ITF firm will transport remaining
rest imported coal to NTPC’s 1,340MW Kahalgaon plant of Bihar using the rail
network between Farakka and Kahalgaon.
NTPC considers this method of dry bulk cargo coal
transportation through river channel is the most cost effective and eco-friendly that will boost company’s growth. Futuristic plan for Barh plant, Patna and Bongaigaon
plant, Assam the similar method of waterway transportation will be implemented by
NTPC.
