India exported the first ever consignment of coal from Netaji Subhas Dock (NSD) of Syama Prasad Mookerjee Port (SMP) in Kolkata to Bangladesh for Rampal Power Plant in Khulna on July 2.
The coal is sourced from Dhanbad, Jharkhand of India and going to be exported to Rampal Power Station, Khulna in Bangladesh.
The first rake of coal about 4,000 tonnes is expected to be unloaded at Kidderpore Dock (KPD) and dispatched to the captive jetty of the power plant. The exporter of coal is Godavari Commodities, said a press statement issued by the company.
"We expect that about 20,000 tonnes of Indian coal will be sourced from SMP Kolkata to Bangladesh every month," the release said.
The Bangladesh government has recently cancelled 10 planned coal-based power plants after taking their environmental impact into consideration.
