Coal India Limited has said that it will ramp up supplies to power companies, to boost their depleting stocks as several plants face acute shortage
Country's largest producer of dry fuel, Coal India Limited (CIL) has said that it will ramp up supplies to power companies, to boost their depleting stocks as several plants across the country face acute shortage of coal.
In a statement, the Maharatna entity said that in the last three days, it has increased offtake to power plants to 1.4 million tonnes on a daily basis and supplies are being augmented to power plants on a “mission mode”.
“CIL has taken up this on a mission mode. Availability of coal and subsequent supplies will be ramped up. Supplies to coal-fired plants from October onwards are aimed at 1.5 million tonnes per day going beyond 1.6 million tonnes in due course,” CIL Director (Marketing) S N Tiwary said.
The company expects that this measure will help ensure some sort of normalcy among stocks of power plants across the country.
