Coal India Increases Coal Supplies as Government Avoids Imported Coal or Gas Mandates
Coal India Ltd (CIL) has increased coal supplies to power plants in late September and early October amid concerns over coal availability, with a 10.6% year-on-year rise in September. Despite low coal stocks at thermal plants due to heavy rains and high demand, the government does not plan to mandate blending imported coal or require gas-based power generation, citing high gas costs and a focus on boosting domestic coal production and logistics.
