Distributors say they have adequate coal to provide uninterrupted electricity as long as the supply from Centre does not deteriorate
A coal crisis has been threatening to disrupt power supplies countrywide
Electricity distributors have assured citizens of no power cuts in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra as long as the coal supply situation does not deteriorate further. Mumbai’s largest supplier, Adani Electricity Mumbai Limited, said it has adequate coal storage to keep the city energised, while Energy Minister Dr Nitin Raut assured uninterrupted supply to the rest of the state, including some city suburbs, through the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. The minister, however, blamed the Centre-run Coal India Ltd for botching up the coal linkages to the generation units.
