Coal scarcity a clear and present risk, says Crisil report
NEW DELHI: Coal shortage at several power plants continues to linger despite record production by state-run producer Coal India.
The threat of power outages looms as almost 73 per cent of power capacities have less than 5 days stock, a report by Crisil revealed.
It noted that of the total 135 plants with a capacity of 165 GW, nearly 70 per cent were at a critical stage with less than 10 days of coal stocks.
