People across the Andhra Pradesh state including Tamil Nadu are likely to face more power cuts in the next few days as coal shortage has hit the Vijayawada-based Vijayawada Thermal Power Station (VTPS) and the Kadapa-based Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project.
The two key power-generation plants have already stalled generation of power on Sunday because of the shortage of coal, particularly from the Talcher coalfields of Odisha and Mahanadi Coalfields Limited in Karnataka.
