State-owned miner Coal India (CIL) has so far entered into fuel supply pacts with about 140 power plants, amid the deadline for signing fuel supply agreements (FSAs) expiring last month.

Coal india has to sign 173 FSAs for a capacity of 78,000 MW.

"So far around 140 fuel supply agreements (FSAs) have been signed," Coal secretary S K Srivastava told reporters on the sidelines of an event in the national capital.

According to Coal India Chairman S Narsing Rao some FSA's are yet to be signed because of certain issues concerning those power plants.
