Power Generators: Centre to increase imported coal blending to meet power demand
The Indian government is expected to order power generators to increase their use of imported coal for blending to at least 6% of their requirement, up from the current 4%. This comes as coal stocks at power plants continue to deplete, with the stock down to 18.4 million tonnes as of October 15. The decrease in stocks is due to higher demand for electricity and lower wind and hydro power generation in some states.
