Aluminium manufacturers write to CIL for resuming coal supplies
Aluminium manufacturers have asked Coal India Ltd to immediately resume coal supplies to the industry as they face a severe shortage of thermal coal that has begun to disrupt their operations.
The state-run coal miner’s “ad-hoc decision for stopping/drastically curtailing coal supplies and rakes for non-power sector (NRS)” is pushing the aluminium sector into a coal crunch situation for their captive power plants (CPPs), industry body Aluminium Association of India (AAI) said in a communication to the chairman of Coal India on Tuesday.
