Many states and territories in India are facing acute coal shortages

North Indian states have suffered electricity cuts and face further outages because of a lack of coal, an analysis of government data and interviews with residents found, contradicting government assurances there is enough power.

India has ample coal stocks to meet the demand of its power plants, the government said Sunday, seeking to allay fears of imminent blackouts in New Delhi and other cities.

Ministry of Coal reassures that ample coal is available in the country to meet the demand of power plants. Any fear of disruption in power supply is entirely misplaced. The coal stock at power plant end is about 72 lakh tonnes, sufficient for 4 days requirement, the ministry says.

What people are saying?

Amit Free power like delhi. Shipping cost is more tha double . It’s due to geo political reason . Urban naxal against mining few ppl against nuclear power . Clean energy revolution takes time . So where is solution think rather than blaming govt .

Sreeni Kejriwal is shouting bcz of his faulty policy of providing free electricity. due to increase in coal prices distribution companies are going to hike the charges and he can no longer afford to give it 4 free. So he is trying to bail himself out with this fake news.
