The Lanka Coal Company (LCC) has announced that it is seeking tenders for the urgent purchase of 300,000 metric tons of coal for the Lakvijaya Coal Power Plant located in Norochcholai. This announcement was made public on the company's website on February 25. The procurement aims to fulfill urgent coal needs for the months of March and April in 2026.
