Domestic coal-based power generation rises 7% to 872 bn units in Apr-Dec
Domestic coal-based power generation increased 7.14 per cent to 872 billion units (BU) in the April-December period of the current fiscal.
The rise in domestic coal-based electricity generation reflects an ample supply of coal to meet the growing energy demand in the country, the coal ministry said in a statement.
Domestic coal-based power generation was 813.9 BU in the year-ago period, it said.
In the country, power is generated from conventional sources — thermal, nuclear and hydro– and renewable sources — wind, solar, biomass etc.
