Rajasthan to Receive 4 Lakh Metric Tonnes of Stalled Coal from Chhattisgarh

25 Jun 2024 CW Team

Rajasthan is poised to receive a significant boost in its coal supply, with 4 lakh metric tonnes of coal being released from Chhattisgarh. This development follows a resolution to the issues that had caused the coal to be stranded. The coal, which was stuck due to logistical challenges and other obstacles, will now be transported to Rajasthan, aiding in the state's energy production and reducing its dependency on other sources. The move is expected to significantly bolster Rajasthan's coal reserves, ensuring a more stable and reliable supply for its power plants. This will, in turn, support the state's energy needs and contribute to its overall economic growth. The release of the coal comes after concerted efforts by state authorities and cooperation between the governments of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh. This collaborative approach has helped to overcome the hurdles that were preventing the coal from being transported. Rajasthan's energy sector is likely to see immediate benefits from this influx of coal, with power generation capabilities set to improve. This development is also expected to have a positive impact on the state's industrial activities, which rely heavily on a stable energy supply. The transportation of the coal is scheduled to commence shortly, with authorities ensuring that all necessary measures are in place to facilitate a smooth transfer. This initiative marks a significant step towards addressing the energy challenges faced by Rajasthan and underscores the importance of inter-state cooperation in resource management.
