Coal shortage in India has hit the power situation in Punjab badly. It has affected two major thermal plants, Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant and Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant, at Lehra Mohabat. If the situation does not improve quickly then these plants face the grim prospects of facing closure as the existing resources deplete
According to sources, Guru Nanak Dev Thermal Plant, which had four units of 110 mw each, had been getting 3,000 mt to 3,500 mt of coal daily against its daily consumption of 4,500 mt. Similarly, the Guru Hargobind Thermal Plant, which had two units of 210 mw each, had been getting 3,000 mt of coal against its daily consumption of 6,000 mt.
