“Very soon coal will be added to the import basket for power generation although the country is sitting on huge reserves of unexploited coal resources.”
Coal reserves stand at 3,300 million tonnes -- equivalent to 78 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of natural gas. Gas reserve stands at 12.11 tcf.
“The government needs to take urgent political decision for exploiting own coal reserve and expediting exploration for petroleum,” said Sufi, also an international energy consult-ant.
