The move comes amid 10%+ growth in power demand, increasing pressure on domestic coal availability. Higher coal dispatches could support better capacity utilisation at power plants and improve fuel availability. The development is positive for Coal India as it could support higher production and dispatch volumes. Key Takeaway: Rising power demand and efforts to rebuild power-plant inventories could support Coal India's production and dispatch volumes. However, investors should monitor coal prices, costs and the impact of increased supplies on realisations.
