Bharat Heavy Electrical Limited (BHEL) and BIFPCL are confident of completing the work of the power plant within the stipulated time.
A recent Bangladesh-India secretary-level virtual meeting also decided to launch the center in December.
Tender evaluation is underway for supply of coal to the power plant. Work will be given in quick time.
Regarding the import of coal from India, Absar Uddin said that this coal will be used to make the floor of the warehouse. International standard floors are made of coal. The contractor company Vel is importing this coal. Not BIFPCL.
Four warehouses are being set up at Rampal. Coal will be brought and kept in this warehouse. The floor of this warehouse with heat control is specially made. And it is done with coal. Rampal will need 45,000 tonnes of coal to floor four warehouses. They will bring this coal in phases. Bring it only when needed.
He said coal would be imported from Indonesia, Australia or South Africa for power generation. International tenders have already been called for that. That process will end quickly. Coal will never be imported from India as fuel for this power plant.
A consignment of 3,600 tonnes of coal will arrive in Bangladesh from Netaji Subhash Dock (NSD) at Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Port in Kolkata, NTPC quoted Indian news agency PTI as saying. AK Mehra, Deputy Chairman, Kolkata Port, said that the coal had reached Kolkata Port from Dhanbad for export to Rampal in Bagerhat. [importance of electricity]
