Raising concern over the coal shortage in the national capital, State Power Minister Satyendar Jain on October 9 said that there is a coal shortage even when production plants are not running at full capacity.
“Appeal to Centre look into the matter. We have a Power Purchase Agreement where they are giving us half of the electricity. We have come to point of rationing. There is a possibility of politics as it appears to be a man-made crisis similar to the oxygen crisis. We have 3.5 times more production capacity than what we require and still, we aren't able to produce power,” he added.
