The closing stock of coal at domestic thermal power plants as on October 31 was 25.6 million tonnes (MT) — the highest-ever in the month of October except for FY’21, the government said on Tuesday. The supply of coal to the power sector is regularly being supervised by the coal ministry in close coordination with the ministries of power and railways.
The domestic coal supply to the power sector is 12 per cent more than the same period of last year, which is the highest ever supply in the first seven months of any fiscal.
