Coal Minister Assures Adequate Coal Stocks Amid Monsoon-Related Supply Disruptions
Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy assured that India has about 123 million tonnes of coal stock, sufficient for 51 days of power demand, despite a 10-day production disruption caused by monsoon rains. Coal output and supplies have improved as rainfall subsided, with ongoing monitoring and coordination among coal companies, railways, and power plants. While 58 thermal plants face critical coal stock levels, increased coal production and transport efforts aim to prevent power shortages amid rising electricity demand driven by weak monsoons and higher thermal generation.
