Singareni CMD assures adequate coal supply to Telangana thermal plants during monsoon

Chairman and Managing Director of Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL), Dr Buddhaprakash Jyoti assured the supply of adequate coal to thermal power stations in the state to meet Telangana’s power requirements in the monsoon season.

Although coal production may face certain challenges during the monsoon season, Singareni would ensure adequate coal supply to thermal power stations.

TGGENCO Chairman Dr Harish met SCCL CMD Dr Buddhaprakash Jyoti at Singareni Bhavan, Hyderabad on Friday.

During the meeting, they reviewed coal supply arrangements for thermal power stations and



discussed measures to ensure uninterrupted power generation at all thermal plants, including the Yadadri Thermal Power Station, by maintaining adequate stocks of quality coal throughout the monsoon season.

Responding to the concerns, Singareni CMD explained that nearly 93 percent of Singareni’s coal production comes from open-cast mines, and heavy rainfall often causes significant disruptions to coal production operations in these mines.

However, keeping the state’s power requirements in view, SCCL has been implementing well-planned measures to ensure uninterrupted coal supplies to thermal power stations.
