91 million tonnes coal stock can meet power needs for 45 days, says Power Minister RK Singh

Power stations have 25 million tonnes while sheds and washeries have another 5 million, taking the total availability as of now to 91 million tonnes. This is enough to run power stations for over 45 days even if consumption by the thermal units is pegged at the highest level of 1.9 million tonnes per day last October, officials said. Getting this coal to utilities will be crucial to ensuring power availability, said a senior government official.
