Coal India boosts supplies to power plants by 14% in April
Coal supplies to the power sector from CIL in April 2017 were 35.20 million tonnes (MT). "The volume increase was 5.1 MTs," the official said. CIL has gradually improved coal stocks at power plants to around 16 MT as of April 30 from that of a little over 7 MT six months ago, the official added

The government earlier had ruled out any possibility of coal shortage in the upcoming monsoon season and asserted that it had sufficient stocks to meet the demand of power plants. Image source: PTI
