Will not spare any effort in pushing up coal output: Coal India Chairman
As monsoon has hit many parts of the country, Coal India chairman Pramod Agrawal said the state-owned firm is braced up to meet its part of committed coal supplies to the power sector in the coming months, and stressed that building up dry fuel stock timely by electricity generating plants will be crucial.
People in many parts of the country faced power outages at the beginning of the summer season this year due to the shortage of coal supplies at various thermal plants.
“Timely stock build-up by the power plants when coal is available will be crucial. We are gearing up to meet our part of committed supplies to power sector in the ensuing months,” Agrawal said in an interview to PTI.
