Insufficient power supply has forced state-run National Aluminium Co Ltd (NALCO) to cut its daily aluminium output by about 6 per cent, a senior company official said on Saturday.
The disruption caused by a scarcity of coal however will not affect the company's quarterly or yearly output target although the production may decline slightly by around 2,100-2,400 tonnes for a month, said A.K. Sharma, director (Production).
Sharma said the shortfall will be subsequently made up by enhanced productions after receipt of coal.
"We are going ahead with bulk imports of coals in few days. We have also requested ministry of coal to help us" he said.
MCL chief A.N. Sahay told Reuters earlier this month a near week-long strike by contract labourers, a lethal outbreak of dengue and continuous rains were bottlenecks that hindered coal production.
