Rampal thermal power plant in Bagerhat has stopped production for the third time in a month over a lack of coal. The latest shutdown came 10 days after resumption of operations following repair work. The first 660 megawatt unit of the plant, an India-Bangladesh joint initiative, needs 5,000 tonnes of coal a day to be fully operational. The second unit is set for inauguration in September.
