CEA listed 34 plants as critical. APGENCO and APPDCL held about 14.7% of their norms, TSGENCO 24.4% and Rajasthan’s state fleet 35.7%. These figures show the national average cannot represent every plant.
Indian thermal power reports should distinguish coal inventory from actual generation. The next-day CEA workbook showed similarly thin cover, supporting persistence beyond one date. EnergylineIndia.com provides the factual assessment. The Coal market news figures establish limited stock relative to normative levels, not automatic load shedding. Plant receipts, consumption and operating status determine the practical effect. Future Coal market news updates should track whether inventories recover and whether the critical count declines. Until then, Coal market news reporting must preserve the difference between stock exposure and realised power shortages.
