As coal crisis looms, Delhi hospitals, metro stare at power outages amid scorching heat
The Delhi government has expressed concern over the possible shortage of coal in the power plants that supply electricity to the national capital.
Disruption in power supply from Dadri and Unchahar thermal power plants may hit 24-hour power supply to Delhi Metro, hospitals and other important institutions in the national capital. Therefore, the Delhi government has written to the Centre asking it to intervene to provide adequate coal to the thermal power plants.
According to the daily coal report of the National Power Portal, there is acute shortage of coal at many power stations of the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
