Other ministries and departments contribute further project portfolios across sectors.

In April, nine projects were commissioned, including a flyover, a transmission system for renewable evacuation and a sewerage treatment project valued at Rs 7.584 billion (bn), Rs 6.8874 billion (bn) and Rs 3.6231 billion (bn). The portal added 55 projects during the month, including Bangalore Metro Phase three at Rs 156.11 billion (bn), Kalai two hydro at Rs 141.0583 billion (bn) and the Zaheerabad node at Rs 23.6 billion (bn).

Telangana Thermal Plants Hold Limited Coal Stock

The government told the Rajya Sabha that coal-fired power plants across India held 42.8 million (mn) tonnes (t) of coal as of July 12, enough for 14 days of generation at an 85 per cent plant load factor (PLF). The reply said coal supplies were being monitored daily through a joint mechanism and that coal rakes were being given priority to support uninterrupted thermal generation during peak demand. Officials indicated that daily data on stock levels and rake movements was reviewed to manage dispatches and avoid generation shortfalls. The Central Electricity Authority daily fuel report for Jul..
