Three central ministers may convene a meeting on Tuesday, in the backdrop of concerns over possible blackouts in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh because of depleting stocks of coal at power plants, said two government officials aware of the development on condition of anonymity. The aim is to find ways to ensure adequate supply of the fossil fuel to build up stocks, said the two officials.
Union coal minister Pralhad Joshi, minister for power and new and renewable energy Raj Kumar Singh, and railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw may meet to deliberate on ways to increase coal supplies.
