What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Coal inventories across India's 190 thermal power plants have dropped to an average of seven days, the lowest level since November 2023. Approximately 60% of these plants have coal stocks sufficient for fewer than seven days. Due to these critical stock levels, the Ministry of Coal has directed coal public sector undertakings, including Singareni Collieries Company and Coal India, to increase coal supplies to thermal plants.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The low inventory levels affect the stability of India's national power and industrial energy systems, which rely on domestic coal reserves. The directive requires major producers like Singareni Collieries Company to increase output and supply to meet immediate energy demand.
