Coal India raises coal supply to power plants
NEW DELHI: Amid reports of power crisis in the country due to coal shortage, Coal India on Monday said its coal supply to the power sector was increased by 15.6% in April 2022, compared to the same month last year.
India’s largest coal producer highlighted that it pushed up its supplies to power plants to 49.7 million tonnes (MTs) in April, an increase of 6.7 MTs compared to the same period last year when the sector’s despatach was 43 MTs. However, Coal India’s efforts could not fulfill the demand as many states were facing power outages due to coal shortages.
