Coal stocks at thermal plants hold above 18 MT as supply deficit narrows

·The Hindu·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Coal stocks at thermal plants have held above 18 million tonnes as the supply deficit has narrowed. This is a positive development for the power sector, as it suggests that coal availability is improving and reducing the risk of power outages. The narrowing supply deficit is also likely to have a calming effect on coal prices, which have been a concern for power generators and consumers. As a result, the power sector may experience some stability in the coming months.
