Singareni plans to increase coal supplies to TG-Genco to 75K tonnes a day

HYDERABAD With the demand for energy expected to rise further in the coming days due to the impact of El Nino conditions, the Singareni Collieries Company Ltd (SCCL) has decided to supply 75,000 tonnes of coal per day to the thermal power projects of the Telangana Power Generation Corporation Ltd (TG-Genco). It includes supply of at least 16,000 tonnes of coal every day from the Naini coal mine in Odisha to the Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS) and arrangements are being made to transport it seamlessly. The decisions were taken at a high-level coordination meeting held virtually at Singareni Bhavan, the corporate office of SCCL, here on Tuesday.

Chairman and Managing Director of SCCL Buddhaprakash Jyoti and CMD of Telangana Genco CMD S. Harish chaired the meeting from their offices. Coordination meetings are being held between SCCL and Genco on coal supplies to the latter’s thermal power plants.

At the Tuesday’s meeting, it was decided to further increase the coal supplied further to Telangana Genco.
