State-run NTPC, on a massive capacity addition programme, says it would need 270-280 million tonnes (mt) of coal annually by the end of the 12th Plan (2017). It used 150 mt last year. Around 70 per cent would be met from domestic sources, another 20 per cent through its mines and the remaining 10 per cent through imports. It would rely on domestic sources, long-term and fallback arrangements for regassified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) and spot RLNG. NTPC requires around 17.35 million metric standard cubic metres per day (mscmd) of gas for running plants of 3,650 Mw capacity at a load factor of 90 per cent. It has tied up for supply of 15 mscmd and was meeting the gap through spot RLNG.
