Explanation:

Recently, Rajasthan government has asked Chhattisgarh to fast-track the development of its two coal blocks in the state to help aid electricity production and ward off any blackouts.

This formal request comes Weeks after several states faced an energy crisis due to depleting coal stocks.

Currently, Rajasthan is largely dependent on state-owned Coal India Ltd (CIL) for imported fuel for generating electricity.

Disruption in coal supplies from CIL coupled with a spike in imported coal prices had prompted RVUNL to secure fuel from its captive blocks.

Rajasthan has close to 28,400 MW of installed electricity generation capacity.
