Coal sector gets boost for monsoon
Orissa POST
|May 09, 2025
The country will not face any shortage of coal in the upcoming monsoon season, as the government is well prepared to meet the demand across various sectors, including the power sector, Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy said Thursday.
Coal production usually faces hindrances during the monsoon season. As a result the output from mines is lower, which consequently affects the dispatch to power plants.
"There will be no shortage (of coal) this monsoon as the ministry is fully ready...Coal stock for a month is ready with us... we will work with dedication to provide coal to the nation. We will not let the country grapple with coal shortages," the minister told reporters on the sidelines of an event here.
