CONSUMERS’ PAGE Submissions by both Power and NRS consumers:
Submission by Power sector consumers:
1. Representation by both Power and NRS consumers regarding various forms of pending refunds:
2. Submission regarding continuous and significant short receipt of coal from SECL and ECL sidings:
Various forms of refunds pertaining to coal consumers across the board including operational refund such as, refund of advance coal value, refund of advalorem taxes, security depots, EMD/BGs, differential CST amounts and abnormal underloading /overloading charges and coal quality related refund such as differential coal value in case of grade slippage, excess surface moisture in coal and supply of ungraded coal have been pending since long from different CIL Subsidiaries.
Power sector consumers have raised concern regarding continuous and significant short-receipt of coal in rakes loaded from SECL’s Kusmunda area sidings and ECL’s Sonepur Bazari sidings. Shortages in all the rakes loaded from Old Kusmunda (OKSR) and New Kusmunda (NKCR) sidings in January-February 2021 have increased to as high as 4% while shortage in rakes loaded from the ECL siding is found to be around 5.5% even after recalibration of weighbridges enroute.
Submission has been made to CIL for its Subsidiaries to expedite these refunds to the respective consumers. In case there is no definite timeline articulated in the FSA for disbursement of such refunds, a suitable time frame may be included in the FSAs
Such recurrent short-receipt is leading to huge financial loss for Power generators. Requests have been made to SECL and ECL to take appropriate measures including ensuring proper loading of rakes and recalibration of weighbridges to eradicate the problem.
