Coal supply to power plants rises 25% in FY22
Coal supply to electricity generating plants increased by 24.5 per cent to 677.67 million tonnes in FY22 compared to that of the preceding fiscal, the government data said on Friday. Despite increased supplies, there were reports of fuel shortage at various thermal power units due to soaring energy demand.
The data, however, showed that the supply of coal to power utilities stood at 544.07 MT in FY21, which was less than 567.25 MT recorded in FY20.
