Coal Shortages Strain Power Supply for Bokaro Steel Plant
What happened
Power supply in Bokaro Steel City is facing strain due to dwindling coal stocks at Bokaro Power Supply Company Ltd, which currently holds only three days of supply. Irregular consignments from Central Coalfields Ltd and Bharat Coking Coal Ltd have reduced the daily coal intake for the Bokaro Steel Plant from nearly one rake to every two to three days. This has increased pressure on electricity supply, as generation at the Damodar Valley Corporation-SAIL joint venture has dropped to between 130 and 150 MW.

Why it matters
The Bokaro Steel Plant requires approximately 240 MW for its operations, drawing power from both Bokaro Power Supply Company Ltd and the Damodar Valley Corporation. Officials warn that a further drop in coal supplies could deepen power disruptions in the township and negatively affect the steel plant's operations.
