Short supply of coal may lead to power cut this summer
Posted on: 10/Feb/2016 2:22:13 PM
Since there are problems prevailing in importing coal for the thermal plants in Tamil Nadu, there could be severe cut during this summer.
TANGEDCO floated tenders for supply of coal during the month of December 2015. 45 lakhs tons were to be imported to be used from the month of April to September. Normally five or six firms will participate but only one firm from Tamil Nadu sent their quotation. They also mentioned that they will be able to supply only 6 lakhs tons. The quoted rate was Rs 3270 per ton. TANGEDCO approved this and gave the order to this firm.
Now TANGEDCO has floated one more tender for the balance 39 lakh tons of coal. It is not known that how this is going to materialize. If the situation in the import rises than there will be severe power cut in Tamil Nadu during the summer.
