In a marked deviation from December’s trend, Adani Power Limited’ Tirora thermal power plant’s coal imports were at a mere 4,000 tons in January 2016 against 168,000 tons in the previous month, according to provisional data of CEA.

However, the Mundra TPS’s coal imports in January 2016 were at 1,309,000 tons against the previous month’s 1,228,000 tons.
