According to Mining News Pro - The lack of power plant projects has been challenged and the lack of access to rail lines has exacerbated the issue.

Coal is usually supplied by the Indian Coal Company or its subsidiary company for aluminum smelting units. However, some sources say the supply of coal and aluminum refinement units has been hit by the lack of priority in order to focus more on other sectors.

Previously, Indian aluminum manufacturers called on the Coal Minister for Aluminum to be included in the key to supplying the fuel to the industry on a regular basis, but no thought was given.

Aluminum industry had already faced a severe shortage of coal in September 2017, due to the limited supply of this product.
