Coal stock cover at thermal power plants falls to 7 days; 74 critical
Coal stock at thermal power plants has dropped to a seven-day cover. Inventories fell to 22.9 million tonnes on September 19, only 39 per cent of the normative level, and 74 of 190 plants are critically low. This matters if you run a power-intensive business, since tight coal supplies can mean load curtailment. Watch your local power supply notices and keep backup arrangements ready.
