    India advocates design change in coal-based power plants to utilise local resources, considers higher tax on imports

    Indias federal coal ministry has recommended changes in the design of coal-based power plants to promote the use of energy security and reduce dependence on imported coal. According to a report by S&P Global Commodity Insights, the proposal, outlined in a report released by an inter-ministerial committee, also suggests imposing higher taxes on imports of coal with high gross calorific value (GCV).
