The Central Government has tweaked rules for supply of coal to all states and now “coal will be supplied based on coal generation within the past fortnight” instead of quotas fixed.
The change in coal rakes being supplied by Coal India to Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) for Ropar and Lehra Mohabatt thermal plants has been reduced from five per day to four per day as per new principles for rakes allocation finalised by the Power Ministry.
The two thermal plants have a capacity of 1,760 MW. The average daily generation from these two plants for the fortnight up to March 13 was 25 million units (MUs) daily.
