Coal India wants to deliver imported coal at the doorsteps of customers. This will be done through a Special Purpose Vehicle which would be a joint venture between associated parties. For this, it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with SCI and Indian Railways. NTPC majorly imports coal and thus Coal India is banking on the participation of NTPC in this JV.
