ANGUL: Coal shortage has hit production at Talcher Thermal Power Station (TTPS), a unit of NTPC.
Power generation at the station has reduced to 270 MW against its normal of 460 MW per day.
A TTPS official said two units (4 and 5) of the station have been shut down.
While unit 4 was closed for overhauling, unit five has been shut due to shortage of coal.
The stock at the power station, which requires 9,000 tonne of coal per day, has depleted due to agitation at Talcher Coalfield for the last 14 days.
