Centre Urges Uttar Pradesh to Develop Saharpur-Jamarpani Coal Block After Delay
The Centre has criticized Uttar Pradesh for a decade-long delay in operationalising the Saharpur-Jamarpani coal block in Jharkhand, allotted in 2015 to meet the state's thermal power plants' coal needs. Despite this, no progress has been made due to a lack of initiative by Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (UPRVUNL), forcing reliance on Coal India Ltd. The ministry noted that 14 other coal blocks allotted after Saharpur-Jamarpani have started production. Coal stocks at UPRVUNL plants remain sufficient, with no critical shortages reported.
