Coal India has chalked out its supply plan for thermal power plants for next year. The public sector miner on Tuesday said it would supply 156 million tonnes (mt) to the power sector during the peak summer months of April-June amid concerns over a spike in demand.
The supply in the first three months of next fiscal makes up 25.6 per cent of the annual despatch target of 610mt to power in 2023-24.
The total domestic coal demand projected for the power sector for 2023-24 is estimated at 821mt, with Coal India accounting for nearly three-quarters of the supply.
