Rajasthan Secures Release of 4 Lakh Metric Tonnes of Coal from Chhattisgarh

Rajasthan has secured the release of 4 lakh metric tonnes of coal stuck in Chhattisgarh. This intervention by the state government will enhance coal reserves in Rajasthan's power plants, ensuring adequate electricity supply for the public. The coal will be distributed from Chhattisgarh to Rajasthan's thermal power plants.

Rajasthan has successfully secured the release of 4 lakh metric tonnes of coal that had been stuck in Chhattisgarh due to regulatory actions. This measure was facilitated by Chief Minister Sharma, who coordinated with Chhattisgarh officials to expedite the process.

According to an official statement on Thursday, the coal reserves in Rajasthan's power plants are set to increase significantly. This move will ensure a reliable supply of electricity to the general public.

The Rajasthan State Electricity Generation Corporation had previously contracted Aryan Coal Beneficiation India Ltd (ACBEL) to supply coal for its Suratgarh and Chhabra Thermal Power Plants. However, operations were halted in July 2022 due to regulatory issues in Chhattisgarh. Thanks to the swift intervention, the coal is now set to be delivered, boosting power generation in Rajasthan.
