Coal stocks at power plants hit three-year low amid demand, transport woes
Coal stocks at thermal power plants fell 42 per cent to 29 million tonnes (MT) in August, Crisil says. Rising demand and transport bottlenecks slowed refilling. This affects power producers and businesses that need steady electricity. If supply stays tight, generation costs and power availability may face pressure. Keep watching plant stock updates and plan your power use and fuel buying carefully.
