To end the deepening power crisis in the country, several steps have been taken by the Central Government with immediate effect. Under this, while instructions have been given to increase coal production, the states have been asked to lift their share of coal. The government has said that in a few days this crisis will be completely over. The government has already made it clear that the country has sufficient reserves of coal.
Let us tell you that 75 percent of the electricity in the country is generated from coal-based power plants. The crisis of coal shortage which has been visible in some states of the country for the last few days has been due to some major reasons. These have been mainly due to heavy rains in coal-producing states, floods, and obstruction in the transportation of coal. Apart from this, energy expert Narendra Taneja also believes that the technology of coal mining in the country is out of date.
Apart from all these problems, the problem mentioned by the government is also the non-payment of dues of Coal India by the states. Let us tell you that two days ago, when the PM held a review meeting on this issue, then it came to the fore that the states are yet to pay the outstanding amount of about 21 thousand crore rupees to Coal India. In this, due to the shortage of coal, it was also said that the states had neither paid this due amount nor had raised their share of coal, due to which this problem was created.
The states which have to pay the dues of Coal India include Maharashtra Rs 2,600 crore, Bengal Rs 2,000 crore, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh Rs 1,000 crore, Karnataka 23 crore, and Rajasthan Rs 280 crore. The government has expressed the hope that in the coming days this problem will be completely overcome. At the same time, it is also expected that when the situation improves, these states will also pay the dues to Coal India.
The government has directly said that because of the trouble in monsoon on its part, it had asked the states to ensure the stock of coal. Despite this, the states had ignored the Centre, due to which the problem took a formidable form and some power plants had to be shut down, while some had only one to three days of coal left. It is also necessary to mention here that there has been a record production of coal in the country.
This time the production has increased by about 19.33 percent as compared to last year. Not only has coal production increased, but electricity production and demand have also increased. This is a direct sign that the country's economy is gaining momentum. According to the government, at present, the daily coal demand of thermal power plants is about 19 lakh tonnes, while in the last few days, 19.5 lakh tonnes of coal have been supplied. This will soon be increased to 20 lakh tonnes per day.
