Hyderabad:In a major relief amid the growing power crisis, uninterrupted coal supply from the Naini coal block to the Yadadri thermal power project will begin on Tuesday following a relaxation of transportation restrictions by the local administration in Odisha.
TGGENCO has obtained permission from the local administration to continue coal transportation during the early hours to meet the power plant’s requirements.
TGGENCO CMD S Harish met Angul District Collector Abdaal M Akhtar in Odisha on Monday and explained the need to transport the targeted quantity of coal to meet the requirements of the corporation’s thermal power station.
He requested a relaxation of the permitted transportation timings.
Responding to his appeal, the Angul district Collector agreed to extend the transportation window and allow coal movement by road between 11 pm and 5 am. Earlier, transportation was permitted only between midnight and 4 am.
The relaxation is expected to improve coal dispatch from the Naini mine and help TGGENCO meet its coal supply targets amid rising power demand in Telangana due to El Niño-related weather conditions.
