New Delhi: Eight industrial agencies representing fertilizer, aluminum, textiles, sponge flower manufacturers and captive power have jointly begged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to restore normal coal supply, said the continuation of fuel shortages have placed many industries on danger.
The situation has deteriorated further in the past few weeks due to further restrictions on the railroad, cum-cum-road and road mode, encouraging many units to the threshold of closure, especially coal consumption units in non-regulated sectors (NRS)), associations said in their combined letter to PM.
“The detrimental situation that began around August / September last year was more difficult because coal stock in many plants fell below the critical level.
The supply ratio has shown signs of improvement during November 202.
However, coal supply to NRS consumers, including CPPS (captive power plants) has dropped once more even though October-March is the highest production month for Indian coal Ltd., “the letter was said.
It is said that coal requirements from the non-regulatory sub-sectors contribute 25-30% of the total domestic coal production.
Fertilizer, becoming a regulated industry, also suffers because it depends on domestic coal.
Indicates that the focus of the government in power producers has helped increase fuel stocks at the generator station, the letter questioned the logic for sustainable restrictions from supply to the non-power sector at the time of Indian coal production increased 7%.
The association also showed a shortage of rakes for the non-power sector and said there was a deposit supply of 4,000 garu from Indian coal.
The lack of supply in demand has forced many sustainable process industries to use transportation through the road, which proved inadequate, the letter said.
After a large amount of power plants run very low on fuel last year, the government limits the supply of coal to charming power plants and other non-power consumers in an effort to quickly build fuel stocks in generating stocks.
Equipment for the non-power sector is still limited even though the government claims there is no shortage.
The non-power industry took their coal problems to PM Modi
