The central government on Saturday assured the Delhi government that it will supply “all required quantities of gas” to Bawana and Pragati stations after the Delhi government raised concerns regarding the shortage of coal at power plants. In view of the looming crisis, the Centre has also directed National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) to increase coal stocks equal to the national average for Dadri and Jajjhar stations “for full availability”, Union Power Secretary said in a statement.
The statement comes hours after the Delhi government said that it has only one day of stock left at the thermal power station and the city might plunge into the darkness within the next few days.
