Some States have already scheduled planned outages. And we are now told that the power companies face shortage of coal. Industrial states want to import coal to make up for the shortfall. That is a costly proposition beyond the reach of smaller states. Is there a coal crisis? Remember, there was a similar hue and cry a few months ago too. Uttar Pradesh says it is left with only 26 per cent of its coal stock. In Maharashtra, the coal-fired power stations have stocks worth 6.5 lakh metric tonnes whereas 1.4 lakh metric tonnes of is needed for optimal generation. The Madhya Pradesh government says its stocks will barely last 1.5 to 3.5 days. &nbsp;Stocks in a majority of the thermal plants are reaching the critical mark. The Union government says over 70 million tonnes of coal is at present available with Coal India Limited, Singareni Collieries, Limited, coal washeries, and other. The plants between them have over 20 million tonnes. The railways is chipping in with additional rakes to speed up the transportation of coal. The problem has everything to do with planning issues involving the coal producers and transporters. That is why coal supplies at thermal plants deplete. This needs an immediate remedy for the simple reason that coal-based power production is the mainstay of the country&#39;s power sector.&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:justify">This March, for instance, 210 gigawatts of the total 396 gigawatts generated in India was from coal-fired plants. That is a 53 per cent share.
