The supply of coal and the power situation in the country are likely to improve soon, with steps being taken to ensure gradual buildup of coal stocks in the near future, people aware of the matter said on Saturday.
An inter-ministerial sub-group led by the coal ministry has been monitoring the situation twice a week. In order to manage the coal stocks and ensure equitable distribution, the power ministry earlier constituted a core management team (CMT). “The CMT is closely monitoring and managing the coal stocks on a daily basis and ensuring follow up actions with CIL, railways to improve the coal supply to power plants,” an official said on condition of anonymity.
