"We have already lost more than 800 million units on account of coal shortage whereas there was no loss of generation on account of coal shortage during the same period last year," the statement said.
Due to coal shortage, our four units (2x210 MW and 2x500 MW) are stopped, the company added.
The generation of balance unit is also regulated and is running at 49 percent of the plant load factor or efficiency.
"If coal supply does not improve, Vindhyachal may have to further stop one or two more units for want of coal," it added.
The coal supplies at the plant have not improved despite for the past 4-5 days, it further added. NTPC supplies electricity to Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Daman & Diu and Dadar Nagar Haveli from this plant.
