India and Singapore Plan 2,000 MW Power Corridor; Coal Stock Drawdown Slows
What happened
India and Singapore are planning a 2,000 MW power corridor. Separately, the rate of coal stock depletion has slowed sharply, with daily drawdown falling from 0.243 MT per day in September to 0.116 MT per day in October. The stock position is stabilizing, although stock rebuilding has not yet commenced. Rail loading has also strengthened, averaging over 465 rakes per day in October.

Why it matters
The planning of the power corridor suggests a significant increase in energy infrastructure cooperation between India and Singapore. Furthermore, the moderation in coal stock depletion and the strengthening of rail loading indicate improved operational stability within India's domestic coal supply chain.
