Yadadri’s coal depot holds enough fuel for just five days, highlighting a looming shortage for Telangana’s power plants.
Yadadri’s coal storage facility in Telangana has reported a stock level sufficient for only five days of operation, according to state energy officials. The limited reserve underscores a broader shortage that is affecting several thermal power plants across the state, which rely heavily on coal for electricity generation.
The shortfall has prompted the Telangana State Electricity Board to warn of possible reductions in power output if additional coal supplies are not secured promptly. Plant operators are reportedly reviewing load‑shedding options and exploring alternative fuel arrangements to mitigate the impact on the grid.
State authorities have indicated that they are coordinating with coal suppliers and the central government to expedite the arrival of fresh consignments. The situation remains fluid, and officials have urged consumers to conserve electricity while the supply gap is addressed.
