State-owned CIL NSE 0.63 % has been writing to power generating companies since October last year urging them not to regulate the intake of coal and build up stock at their end, so that the electricity production does not suffer during summmer and monsoon seasons, according to official sources. The development assumes significance in the wake of power houses in the country grappling with coal shortages.
“CIL has been writing to power gencos (generation companies) since October 2020 not to regulate intake of their coal and build up stock at their end, so that generation do not suffer during the summer and monsoon season of 2021-22 due to coal shortage,” one of the sources said.
