Coal India augments fuel supply to 1.7 MT per day
The coal ministry said on Tuesday state-run Coal India (CIL) has raised coal supply to 1.7 million tonne per day over the last five days of August to address the shortage of raw material to fuel power. The average offtake recorded in August last year was 1.4 million tonne per day.
Of the 1.7 million tonne this time around, 1.4 million tonne was dispatched to the power sector daily.
