Coal India loaded 243 rakes per day during April-May this year, thereby registering an increase of 23 rakes over the corresponding period of last fiscal. According to a release by the company, 47 rakes per day were also loaded through washery circuit and Railways goods-shed siding which further helped in augmenting supplies to the power sector. Besides enhancing dispatches through rail, the power stations that are located within a 50-60 km vicinity of the mines and have a FSA are being offered coal through road and rail-cum-road mode. CIL has requested the Union Power Ministry to persuade power stations situated within 20 km of the mine to lift their entire requirement by road. This, company claims, will increase availability of rakes for movement to distant power plants.
The miner is holding a stock of about 44 Million tonnes of coal as on 31 May 2018 and there is no dearth of coal, the release said.
