HYDERABAD: With the increased demand for coal for thermal power generation, the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) has stepped up coal production in the past one week. While it has been generating 1.75 lakh metric tonnes to 1.80 lakh MTs a day from 1.60 lakh MTs last month, SCCL has decided to further enhance it to 1.90 lakh MTs a day.
“While the Telangana thermal power generation companies have coal reserves for five days, even other plants in neighbouring states are being supplied as per the agreements. The supplies are meeting 100% of demand in Telangana, 96% in Karnataka, 97% in Maharashtra, and 106% of total demand to NTPC,” SCCL director (operations) S Chandrasekhar told TOI on Monday.
