NTPC makes Rs 446 cr saving in energy bill in April

New Delhi: Public sector power generator NTPC has made a saving of Rs 446 crore in  energy bill in April this year despite recent increase in Clean Energy Cess on  coal.
 
In spite of recent increase in Clean Energy Cess on coal, a saving of Rs 446 crore  has been made in monthly billing of equivalent quantity of energy supplied in the  month of April 2016 as compared to that of last year," NTPC said in a statement.
 
Moreover, NTPC is making all possible efforts to bring down the energy charges  under Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojna (UDAY) for revival of debt-ridden discoms, it  said.
 
The company`s efforts such as rationalisation of coal linkages, reduction in  imported coal consumption, enforcement of third party sampling of coal and other  measures have led to reduction in energy charges of coal stations.
