First Naini Coal Consignment Reaches Telangana’s Yadadri Power Plant
A power plant in Telangana received a large delivery of coal.
The delivery contained 4,000 tonnes of coal from the Naini mine in Odisha.
It arrived at the Yadadri power station on Tuesday.
This coal has a high calorific value, meaning it can produce a lot of heat.
Officials said it will help the plant make electricity regularly.
It may also help the plant produce more electricity when demand is highest.
The coal traveled about 1,050 kilometers to reach the plant.
More deliveries are expected so the plant can keep enough coal and provide a steady supply of electricity.
A first consignment of 4,000 tonnes of Naini coal reached Yadadri Thermal Power Generation Station on Tuesday.
The high-calorific-value coal came from the Naini block in Odisha.
Officials said the coal will support regular electricity generation and peak capacity.
The shipment traveled approximately 1,050 kilometers, but its thermal efficiency is expected to justify freight costs.
More coal rakes are expected from the Naini mine to maintain stocks and steady power supply.
