Hyderabad: With the rise in power demand and thermal power plants seeking more coal supplies, the Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL)

has decided to step up coal production to meet the demand. Due to rise in temperatures, power utilities in the state have recorded the highest power demand 14,000 MW recently.

Official sources said the coal company has been supplying 1.60 lakh metric tonnes of coal to thermal power units in Telangana, AP,  Karnataka and Maharashtra  apart from  NTPC at Ramagundam.

"Of the total generation, 45,000 MTs of coal a day is being given to the Telangana power generation companies, another 20,000 MTs to AP, 30,000 MTs to NTPC and 15,000 MTs to SCCL units. The rest go to other states,” a Singareni director said. tnn
