GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW POWER COMPANIES TO DIVERT NATURAL GAS TO OTHER PLANTS

The government has decided to allow power companies to divert natural gas from one of their plants to another to achieve optimal operations, relaxing the stringent policy that restricts fuel supply to specific units. This was done on account of plea of power firms, which complained that their plant load factor (PLF) had dropped below the economic level of power generation because of acute gas shortage.
