BNovember 1975
CFebruary 2016
DAugust 2014
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. October 2007
The New Coal Distribution Policy was introduced in October 2007. It replaced the linkage system with Fuel Supply Agreements (FSA). Earlier consumers were classified as Core / Non-Core, but NCDP dispensed with this and treats each sector on merit. (Source: AR 2024-25 Ch 10 section 9.)
