The NTPC Limited on Friday said Dadri-II and Unchahar power plants are running at full capacity and receiving regular supplies a day after the Delhi government claimed that they had coal stocks for only up to two days.


“Currently Unchahar and Dadri stations are declaring more than 100% rated capacity to the grid. All units of Unchahar and Dadri are running at full load except Unchahar Unit 1, which is under annual planned overhaul,” NTPC said in a statement. “All six units of Dadri and five units of Unchahar are running at full capacity and receiving regular coal supplies. Present stock is 140000 MT and 95000 MT respectively and import coal supplies are also in pipeline.”

The Delhi government on Thursday said coal at two of the five stations it sources power from would last only about one or two days. It requested the Centre to provide enough stock. The appeal came on a day when Delhi’s power demand crossed the 6,000 megawatts (MW) per day mark for the first time in April.
