“It is noteworthy that coal production during this year is growing at 7.26% over last year. Thermal power generation is growing at 8.78% and rake supply is growing at 8.45%. Adequate transportation arrangements are in place to meet enhanced demand of coal for increased need of thermal power for growing economy,” the coal ministry said in an official notification.
In recent sub-group meeting with state gencos at the level of inter-ministerial committee of coal, power and railways, it was concluded that adequate stock was available at all TPPs in the country, it added. Sub-group is a mechanism wherein on a weekly basis coal supply and logistics issues are discussed and resolved.
Enhanced evacuation infrastructure and operationalisation of more number of ports for costal evacuation of coal has helped in improving the logistics across the country, the ministry mentioned.
