Coal ministry says supplies to power plants are up 36 per cent from September’s low

Coal supplies to power plants rose 36% from September’s low, the Coal Ministry said on October 9, as fuel availability improved.
Daily coal stock depletion at thermal power plants fell from 0.243 million tonnes in September to 0.116 million tonnes in October.
Rail loading averaged over 465 rakes daily in October, with the 470-rake target met for three consecutive days.
The ministry said low coal stocks trigger early warnings, not necessarily an immediate shortage or risk of power plants shutting down.
