Coal India’s fresh restrain of supply to CPPs may side-line the growth of the aluminium sector among other industries

EDITED BY : MAYURAKSHI GANGULY 2MINS READ

Scarcity in the supply of coal is being witnessed in India for two years in a row since Coal India has restricted its deliveries to industrial customers to carry out smooth supplies to the power plants. The country is moving towards a mandatory demand peak due to summer but the fuel stockpiles are far below the target level.

Coal India’s fresh restrain of supply to CPPs may side-line the growth of the aluminium sector among other industries

The India state-owned Coal India Limited with headquarter in Kolkata, West Bengal limited its daily supplies to non-power sector users to 275,000 tonnes, which is around 17% lower than the recent average daily volumes.

Even the company is cutting down on railway transportation and relying more on trucks due to the unavailability of a proper schedule which means slower delivery speed for the industrial customers.

However, the Indian coal mining giant CIL is yet to make any comment on it.

According to the data revealed by the Aluminium Association of India (AAI), some aluminium producers though being the largest consumers of energy paid a 450% premium for domestic coal in March. The domestic aluminium smelters are eager to receive supply after surviving delivery limitations during last year’s energy crunch and the highly-priced seaborne coal making imports too expensive.

Outlook 2022

Stockpiles at power plants plunged on 3rd April 2022 amounting to 25.2 million tonnes, a deficit of 45 million tonnes according to standards set by India’s coal ministry.
