NTPC has suffered an estimated production loss of 900,000 tonne of coal in September as operations at the company’s Pakri-Barwadih mines were completely halted since September 1 due to local agitation. The agitation, which is driven by vested interests, has not only halted the mining operations but also stopped coal dispatch and infrastructure development activities like construction of mine end CHP and cross country conveyor.
The stoppage of mining and dispatch activities is also causing huge loss to the local economy, which is directly and indirectly dependent on one of India’s largest coal mines operated by NTPC.
NTPC is the largest power utility company in India and has presence in Coal, Gas, Solar PV, Hydro and Wind Power Generation and Coal Mining.
