Coal India Ltd has 61 million tonnes of stock available in addition to 30 million tonnes with power plants and washeries, which is enough to run power plants for 45 days, officials told ET, saying the situation was critical but not alarming. Many power projects are operating with critical inventories, and a few have even shut down, raising alarm as the country faces a hotter-than-usual summer and record demand.
