Power generation suspended from second unit of Vallur plant.

Generation from one of the three units of the Vallur power plant, jointly set up by NTPC and the Tamil Nadu Government, has been suspended due to shortage of coal, official sources said.

'Power generation has been suspended from the second unit for the last two days. It is mainly due to coal shortage,' an official told PTI.

'Power has been generated to about 400MW from the first unit and due to the shortage of coal, work has been suspended from the second unit,' he said.

Asked about the third unit, he said it was working.

It was expected that the second unit would resume operations soon.
