AAI urges CIL to reconsider coal supply halt by its arms
Kolkata: The Aluminium Association of India (AAI) has urged Coal India (CIL) to reconsider the decision of stopping coal supply to some non-power sectors by a few CIL subsidiaries.
In a letter to the CIL CMD, the association has said, “This has reference to the upcoming crisis situation for the entire Aluminium Sector due to the ad hoc decision for stopping/drastically curtailing the coal supplies and rakes for non-power sector (NRS) majorly the Captive Power Plants (CPPs) resulting in coal crunch situation for aluminium sector.”
According to AAI, adhoc decision without any advance notice has brought down the industry to a standstill and industry has been left out with no time to devise any mitigation plan to continue sustainable operations.
