Yadadri’s 1,600 MW outage remains unverified

A report says Units 3 and 4 are offline, but no accessible Telangana SLDC, TSGENCO or CEA record confirms their status on September 21.

Two numbered power-unit switches stand off outside a Yadadri thermal power station, beside a low coal pile, conflicting dated papers and a locked records window.

The reported outage awaits a current, accessible official record.

A report says two 800 MW units at Telangana’s Yadadri Thermal Power Station are offline, leaving 1,600 MW unavailable. The arithmetic is neat; the confirmation is missing.

The report also says the plant has four days of coal stock against a 21-day norm, and alleges short supply and lower-grade coal from Singareni. Those figures have not been corroborated by an accessible TSGENCO, Telangana SLDC or CEA document. The report itself is dated September 22 while carrying a September 21 dateline, an awkward detail for a story asking readers to trust its timeline.

There is an official record of earlier trouble: a June 17 CEA maintenance report listed Unit 3 under forced minor maintenance for “TURBINE MISC.” and Unit 4 for “FUEL SUPPLY & OTHER MISC. PROBLEMS.” That establishes interruptions, not the present outage. The National Power Portal also says its data is not independently audited. Telangana needs a clear status and restoration timeline. The Congress-led Centre’s paperwork is not a substitute for one.
