Amit Shah takes stock as coal supply to power plants rises amid blackout bogey
NEW DELHI: Coal inventories at power stations have started rising on the back of improved dispatch, it was noted at a meeting home minister Amit Shah had on Monday with power minister Raj Kumar Singh, coal minister Prahlad Joshi and top officials of the two ministries to take stock of the fuel supply situation for electricity generation, sources told TOI.
It was noted that coal stocks grew at power plants by 48,000 tonnes and 25,000 tonnes, respectively, on October 9 and 10 as more consignments were despatched from Coal India’s mines as the monsoon subsided in coal-bearing states.
