At least 5 workers suffered burn injuries from heat emitted from a lignite bunker at the Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), an official said.
A bunker is a 'lignite handling system,' where the coal is stored and handled.
R Venukrishnan, chief manager, Thermal Unit, NLC said the injured, which included a permanent worker, suffered burn injuries when there was a ''spread'' of heat and that they have been admitted to a hospital.
A technical issue is suspected to have caused the incident. Power generation was not affected, he added. An enquiry is on.
NLC is located in Cuddalore district in Tamil Nadu.
