NTPC Ltd''s 3,000 MW Kaniha power plant in Orissa is lurching under a coal shortage due to supply disruptions from Mahanadi Coal Fields. NTPC has only a day''s coal stock with them instead of its usual inventory of 15 days of stock. The country''s second largest single location power plant currently needs 50,000 tonnes coal a day to run five of its six power units of 500 MW each. Once the sixth unit, which is currently under annual maintenance, begins running at full capacity, the NTPC unit will need 55,000 tonnes to feed all units. The coal supply situation continues tight in the plant. NTPC Kaniha draws coal from Talcher coal mines, Ib valley, and Lingaraj coal mines, all units of Mahanadi Coal Fields
