IVCL, the conglomerate of companies that’s supposed to hunt for overseas coal, may be headed for a split. Mint has learnt utility giant NTPC is looking to leave the venture. Company officials say NTPC cannot wait several years to receive coal from a mine it has invested in. They also say other partners are interested in metallurgical coal unlike NTPC, which needs thermal coal for its power plants. ICVL was set up by NTPC along with steel and mineral firms like SAIL and Coal India. It holds a 14% stake in ICVL. Any exit from the venture will require approval from the union cabinet.
