CIL exceeds commitment to electricity plants; tough time for non-power sector
Coal India Limited, in a bid to minimise the shortage of dry fuel for thermal electricity generating plants, is supplying more coal than its commitment to them, forcing the non-power sector to brace for tougher days.
As a number of states have been facing an unprecedented power outage, Coal India is pushing more fuel to power plants than its commitment of 1.65 million tonnes per day, a company told on Thursday.
A total of 85 thermal power plants dependent on domestic coal have critical stock as on May 10, while 11 such factories dependent on imported coal have a critical stock level. A total of eight power plants are not in operation.
