Power station coal shortage eases slightly
12 Sep 2014
The number of Indian thermal power plants with less than seven days of coal stocks fell to 53 this week, down from 56 last week, government data showed on Thursday. However, the stock levels are still around the lowest level since mid-2012, when hundreds of millions of people were cut off in an unprecedented blackout that ranks as one of the world’s largest. India’s 100 thermal power plants had enough coal overall to last six days on 9 September, unchanged on the week, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) said. Twenty eight power plants have less than four days of stocks, the same as last week, the CEA data showed.
