Hyderabad: Telangana Power Generation Corporation Limited recorded an all-time high thermal power generation of 6,088 MW on Wednesday, marking a major milestone for the state energy sector.
Special Chief Secretary to Energy Vikas Raj stated that sustained administrative initiatives were crucial in ensuring adequate coal availability through improved linkages and stronger coordination with Singareni Collieries Company Limited and Indian Railways. This streamlined coal transportation and logistics network ensured uninterrupted fuel supply across all thermal power stations. Vikas Raj noted that roughly three to four months ago, generation at the Yadadri Thermal Power Station had declined to approximately 1,700 MW against its installed capacity of 3,200 MW. This shortfall stemmed primarily from operational constraints within the Coal Handling Plant and the receipt of inferior, sticky, and slurry coal. Taking serious note of the situation, the Special Chief Secretary, TGGENCO Chairman and Managing Director, BHEL Director of Power, and senior TGGENCO directors camped at the project site to conduct comprehensive reviews and initiate immediate corrective actions.
Through close coordination between TGGENCO and BHEL officials, critical operational bottlenecks inside the Coal Handling Plant are being systematically resolved in a phased manner. Additionally, authorities have implemented targeted measures to enhance coal handling efficiency, streamline rail transportation logistics, and guarantee seamless coordination across coal receipt and supply operations statewide.
