Explanation :
- PRAKASH (Power Rail Koyla Availability through Supply Harmony) has been launched for better coordination among the ministries of power, coal and Indian Railways for coal supply to power plants.
- The portal is developed by NTPC, using sources data from different stakeholders such as CEA (Central Electricity Authority), Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS) and coal companies.
- However, the portal, unlike the power ministry’s other recently launched websites, is not accessible to general public.
Benefits
- Apart from mapping coal stocks in mines, the portal will also help stakeholders monitor the movement of railway rakes and coal availability at power plants.
- It is expected to help coal companies to track stocks and requirement at power stations for effective production planning as coal cannot be stockpiled beyond a certain quantity without the risk of catching fire.
