CHENNAI: Coal imports have dipped drastically due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the first quarter of the financial year but Tangedco has been able to sail smoothly as industries across the state are running with 50 per cent capacity.
The state electricity board is highly dependent on coal imports through Kamarajar Port. The port’s Chairman Sunil Paliwal told The New Indian Express that there has been a dip of 43 per cent in coal imports but they are now on the recovery path.
