Coal India Ltd said on Tuesday it is hopeful of supplying 156 million tonnes of coal to the power sector in the summer months of April-June amid concerns over a spike in demand for the dry fuel.
This quantity would be just over a quarter of the dispatch target of 610 MT for the power sector in 2023-24, CIL said in a statement. The power ministry expects peak demand of 229 GW next month, higher than last April’s 211 GW.
