Notification on use of coal with higher ash content based on technical study: Centre to NGT

The environment ministry in May last year decided that it will no longer regulate the ash content of coal used by thermal power plants. It issued a notification that overturned its January 2014 regulation that made it mandatory for all coal-based power plants located 500 km or more from the pit-head or coal mine to use raw or blended or beneficiated coal with no more than 34 percent ash content.
