NTPC, Tata to Participate in Rs 1,600 Cr Gas Subsidy Auction

New Delhi:  State owned NTPC and electric utility company Tata Power along with other big names like Essar Energy, and GMR will take part in a two-day market for Rs-1,600 crore subsidy for purchasing costlier imported gasoline for operating their power plants starting on Tuesday.
This is the third reverse e-auction for subsidy support for buying 10 million cubic meters per day of gas, which will take place on March 15 and 16.
Every organization may take part in the market for every place individually to obtain a gas subsidy for operating the unit. Earlier in 2015, the Center had launched a Power System Development Fund (PSDF) plan for posting place Re gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for stuck gas and partially stuck fuel-centered crops chosen via a slow e-bidding procedure. The plan provides from PSDF for monetary assistance. The expense for that assistance from PSDF was set at Rs 7,500 crore (Rs 3,500 crore and Rs 4,000 crore for that year 2015-16 and 2016-17 respectively).
Earlier Metal Scrap Trade Corporation (MSTC) Ltd. had plans to conduct the auction on March 15 alone. But later the plan was changed and it was spread over two days. The auction will begin at 2 PM and is likely to get over with two or three hours on both the days.

Deals for that 1st stage (June 1 to September 30, 2015) of PSDF Assistance to gasoline-centered energy plants were kept within the weeks of May 2015. A total 270 MW crops, of 10 could secure gasoline percentage.
