New Delhi, Sep 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) The government on Monday said that coal loading to the power sector rose from 370 rakes on September 3 to 444 rakes on September 6, a net addition of 74 rakes per day, including a single-day improvement of 31 rakes on September 6 alone.
Coal loading has shown a consistent upward trend over the past four days.
This reflects the sustained efforts of Coal India Limited (CIL), its subsidiaries, SCCL and captive mine operators to ramp up coal supply to the power sector, Coal Ministry said in a statement.
Nearly every coal-producing company registered an improvement in rake loading on September 6 the previous day.
While MCL recorded the sharpest single-day improvement, up by 12 rakes to 111 rakes per day, captive block loading rose by 6 rakes to 72 rakes per day and BCCL improved by 8 rakes to 25 rakes per day.
Also, NCL rose by 3 rakes to 35 rakes per day, Private Washery (PW) & Goodsheds by 3 rakes to 42 rakes per day, CCL and SECL also registered gains of 2 and 1 rakes respectively, taking their loading to 36 and 46 rakes per day.
ECL and WCL maintained their previous day's loading levels of 23 and 29 rakes per day, respectively.
As a result, total CIL Siding loading rose to 305 rakes/day on September 6, an improvement of 26 rakes over the previous day, according to an official statement.
The ministry also said that the number of critical thermal plants (stock below 25 per cent of normative requirement) are being closely monitored, with corrective coal supply measures already in place to further ease the position at these plants.
The Ministry of Coal and Coal India Limited remain committed to sustaining this improving trend in rake loading to the power sector and meeting the requirements, it added.
