Coal India Ltd (CIL), the world’s largest producer of the fossil fuel, has been able to create an 18-day stock at the country’s power plants at the beginning of the year, a significant improvement from that of a critical stock situation during September-October period. The period saw 47 thermal power plants with 6-day stock, 12 plants with 2-day stock and eight plants had a stock of barely one day.
These power plants currently are flushed with 31.63 million tonne (MT) of coal, which is more than twice the stock which these units had during the same period a year ago.
