While ordering the officials of the Energy Department to ensure adequate coal reserves at the thermal stations, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday suggested that the production at the A.P. Mineral Development Corporation’s (APMDC) Suliyari Coal Mines in Madhya Pradesh be ramped up to add to the existing supplies.
Addressing a review meeting on the Energy Department at his camp office, near here, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy asked the officials to supply power to the industries without any interruption even during the peak demand days. He directed that the scope for utilising the sea route at Krishnapatnam for importing coal be examined.
