Coal Stocks at Power Plants Stable Above 18 Million Tonnes Amid Improved Supply
Coal stocks at domestic coal-based power plants have remained stable above 18 million tonnes since late September 2026, with a slowdown in depletion during early October. The Ministry of Coal reported that daily coal supply increased due to higher rake loading, averaging 469 rakes per day in October compared to 426 in September. This improved supply has helped maintain consistent power generation by redistributing coal to plants with low stocks and exceeding planned daily supply levels on most days in early October.
