9.6 railway rakes per day were supplied to Punjab last year from the coal mines.

The number of rakes per day Punjab is getting in the current year by rail is more than the number of rakes per day Punjab (13.8 rakes per day) was getting in the previous year.
Punjab wanted even more coal.

This additional coal could be given only from MCL.
However, because of congestion in railway network and non-availability of rakes, it is not possible to take out additional rakes from MCL area through the railway route to the plants of Northern and Western parts of the country.

The import of coal for blending has always been happening.

In 2013-14, for example it was 38.5 million tonnes. In 2018-19, it was 23 million tonnes. In 2019-20, it was 23.8 million tonnes. In 2022-23, the import for blending has been 12.2 million tonnes.
Our power demand grew by 15 to 20% in energy terms from August / September, 2021 onwards.

The domestic coal supplies increased, but not enough to meet demand.

Hon’ble Prime Minister has appealed to the people to voluntarily switch off their lights between 9:00 pm to 9:09 pm on the 5th of April. #IndiaFightsCorona
Some apprehensions have been expressed that this may cause instability in the grid and fluctuation in voltage which may harm the electrical appliances. These apprehensions are misplaced. #PoweringIndia
The Indian electricity grid is robust, stable and adequate arrangements and protocols are in place to handle the variation in demand. #PoweringIndia #IndiaFightsCorona
