Free of Cost Supply of Fly Ash

Pond ash from all stations is being issued free of cost to all users. Fly ash is also being issued free of cost to fly ash/ clay-fly ash bricks, blocks and tiles manufacturers on priority basis over the other users from all coal based thermal power stations.

Fly ash utilisation reserve fund

Pursuant to Gazette Notification dated 3 November 2009, issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MOEF), Government of India, the amount collected from sale of fly ash and fly ash based products should be kept in a separate account head and shall be utilised only for the development of infrastructure or facility, promotion and facilitation activities for use of fly ash until 100 percent fly ash utilisation level is achieved.

During the year, proceeds of Rs. 172.02 cr from sale of ash/ash products, Rs. 40.65 cr towards income on investment have been transferred to fly ash utilisation reserve fund. An amount of Rs. 207.25 cr has been utilised from the fly ash utilisation reserve fund on expenses incurred for activities as specified in the aforesaid notification of MOEF.  The fund balance of Rs. 636.63 cr (31 March 2018: Rs. 631.21 cr) is reserved.
