Thermal plants with critical coal stocks rise to 66 amid high demand
Coal stocks at thermal power plants have fallen as electricity demand stays strong, hydropower output stays low and monsoon has slowed domestic coal production. Because of this, the number of plants running on critical coal stocks has risen to 66. That means tighter fuel supply and possible cost pressure for businesses depending on grid power. Watch your power bills and keep backup plans ready.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Coal stocks at thermal power plants have declined amid robust electricity demand.
- Subdued hydropower generation and lower domestic coal production during the monsoon also pulled coal stocks down.
- The number of thermal plants with critical coal stocks has risen to 66.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Keep an eye on news about coal supply and your own electricity costs, and review whether your business needs a backup power arrangement if supply gets tight. Treat this as a risk to watch, not a confirmed price change.
